FACTS emerged a few days ago on the much-awaited autopsy carried out on famous Nigerian street hip-hop sensation, late Ilerioluwa Promise ‘Imole’ Aloba, a.k.a Mohbad, as latest document sighted from Lagos State University Hospital, LASUTH, revealed that Mohbad who passed on at the age of 27 years died of “infected swollen arm and drug overdose in the deceased stomach”.
This autopsy conducted on the body of late singer has revealed findings suggesting the possible cause of his death.
The report, obtained by TheCable on Thursday, stated that while the exact cause of death remains uncertain, there is speculation about a potential drug reaction based on limited post-mortem and toxicology findings.
National Medical Services Laboratories in Pennsylvania, United States of America, recently denied the claim by the Lagos State Government that a toxicology test to ascertain the cause of Mohbad’s death was conducted at its facility.
The report indicates that samples of the late singer’s gastric content, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung were collected for a comprehensive toxicology examination.
The test results revealed the presence of diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, in Mohbad’s system. However, the concentration detected was not deemed fatal or lethal. Antihistamines like diphenhydramine are used to treat allergies, stomach ailments, cold symptoms, and anxiety.
The anatomical and pathological examination showed an injury on Mohbad’s right forearm, and his body was found to be moderately to severely decomposed upon exhumation.
The report suggests at the potential of a fatal anaphylactic shock or drug reaction, despite inconclusive post-mortem and toxicology results. Anaphylactic shock is a severe allergic reaction with life-threatening implications.
It states, “It is noteworthy that the body neither had an autopsy nor embalmed prior to interment on the second day.
“Following the Order for Exhumation, the body was exhumed on 21/09/2023 (8 days after the burial).
“Autopsy revealed moderate to marked decomposition of organs. Apart from the superficial injury on the right forearm, no significant gross finding could be attributed to death.
“Against this background, samples were taken for toxicology. This is to determine if there was any anaphylactic reaction, substances of abuse, over dosage or common household poisoning.
“Toxicology revealed positive findings of Diphenhydramine, an anti-histamine; however, this concentration was not in a fatal or lethal range. The other analytics were unremarkable.
“In determining fatal anaphylactic shock, blood sample needs to be taken as quickly as possible.
“Unfortunately, this was prevented or made impossible by the burial of the deceased on the second day. In the light of the foregoing, cause of death could not be ascertained.
“However, the possibility of a fatal anaphylactic shock (drug reaction) could be considered in view of the absence of any significant post mortem and toxicology findings.”
Mohbad passed away at the age of 27 on September 12, 2023, under mysterious circumstances and was buried the next day.
What I heard saddened my heart, because they told Nigerians they were conducting a test abroad to find out what killed him. But, what I heard made me sad. I am sad because they did not take it to the level they should have.
A renowned medical analyst in Texas, United States, Dr. Nike Adebayo told our correspondent that based on the outcome of LASUTH’s autopsy, Cellulitis could be a contributing factor to Mohbad’s demise, “Cellulitis occurs when a bacterial skin infection that cause swelling, inflammation, pain, and warmth in the affected area. It usually occurs after an injury breaks the skin, allowing bacteria to enter. If left untreated, cellulitis can spread to the lymph nodes and bloodstream and become life-threatening”.
*My Son did not die a natural death-Dad
“I am begging my daddy (President Bola Tinubu) and Governor Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State to please get involved in the matter, because Mohbad cannot die in vain. I have a feeling that he did not die a natural death. I beg Nigerians to be serious with this matter. I am begging those in power, including the Inspector General of Police and others to please investigate the case properly.
“I did not think something like this would happen to him. For about eight months, the news has been the same. I am begging all Nigerians, especially mothers, in the name of God to help us find out how and why he died, because I don’t want him to die in vain. I don’t want to say my son was the only one that made me happy, but he is my happiness and has been taken away from me. If they check his phone, especially activities in the last three days before he died, they should find secrets on it.
“I suspect a lot of people. When he was exhumed from the grave, it felt like I suddenly became aware. I started hearing about things I had not heard before. I heard Mohbad did not collect the placenta of his child, and they (him and his wife) were contending with conducting a DNA test. After his death, I went inside his room and saw his clothes soaked in blood. His friend, Spending, told me that Mohbad and his wife fought at the show on that day, and on their way back home. PrimeBoy also said they fought on their way to the show. That is two people attesting to them fighting on that day. Also, there was blood in the house; and is that not suspicious? Why was blood in their house, and what kind of fight did they have? Adura, my other son, was there, and he said he was always settling fights between Mohbad and Wunmi. Perhaps, the frequent fights were because my son had doubts about the paternity of the son, Liam.”
