Perez Medcare Hospital, where singer Ilerioluwa Aloba aka MohBad, was allegedly taken, has released a statement concerning the singer's death.

In the statement shared on its Instagram page on Monday night, the hospital stated that the singer was brought in dead at the hospital.

The hospital also debunked rumours that the singer was admitted to the hospital.

The statement partly read, "The attention of the management of Perez Medcare Hospital has been drawn to the misleading and false information circulated in some social media platforms that Mr Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (AKA Mobbed) died in our medical facility.

"We consider it pertinent to put on record that at about 04:30 pm on the 12th of September 2023, the lifeless body of Mr Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (AKA Mohbad) was brought to our medical facility, and our medical team immediately sprang into action, and after assessment, it was discovered that there was no sign of life, no central or peripheral pulse, no heartbeat, no recordable vital signs and his pupils were fixed and dilated.

"On attempting CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), rigour mortis (stiffening of some parts of the body in relation to death) was observed, and the persons who brought him to our facility were informed that it was a case of BID (Brought in dead).

"Upon enquiry about the circumstances leading to the emergency, our team was informed that the deceased was being treated at home by a nurse and that she administered injections on him.

"Our team thereafter advised that the body be taken to the nearest Government Hospital where he can be deposited in the morgue.

"Let it be known that Mr Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (AKA Mohbad) was not a patient of Perez Medcare Hospital and was never admitted at our hospital at any material time whatsoever.

"Also, the nurse who was said to be administering treatment on him at home is not a staff of Perez Medcare Hospital."

Seun Kuti Advocates For Big Brother Naija To Focus On Solutions For Nigeria

Renowned musician Oluseun Anikulapo Kuti has expressed his belief that the widely popular reality show Big Brother Naija should be geared towards finding solutions to Nigeria's challenges.

During a recent interview discussing Africa's role in the United Nations, Kuti emphasised that the creators of the annual Big Brother Naija show should have directed its focus towards Nigeria's progress.

Kuti proposed that rather than centring on social skills and tactics, the show would have been more beneficial if viewers voted for the most viable solutions to Nigeria's numerous issues. He contended that this approach would contribute to finding practical answers rather than just housing contestants.

He stated, "Big Brother Naija is how it is because of its investment. It was designed by certain people to be that way. The people who designed Big Brother could have decided that it would be a show where young people discuss the issue of the country and come up with solutions, and other young people and viewers can vote on the best solution."

The outspoken public figure further emphasised that if the show were structured with development in mind, investors would contribute to Nigeria's growth and progress.

He says, "That means that the people going from entertainment to solutions and national development are investing in solutions for national development."
