The Lagos State Coroner's Court sitting in Ikorodu has recommended the criminal prosecution of auxiliary nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe over her involvement in the death of popular Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, professionally known as Mohbad.
Magistrate C.A. Shotobi, who delivered the court's findings on Friday, determined that Ogedengbe acted with gross negligence when she administered an injection to the late singer without obtaining a proper prescription from a licensed physician.
While the court ruled out foul play or homicide in the singer's death, it concluded that the nurse's actions were both unlawful and professionally irresponsible, warranting legal consequences.
"In line with Section 29 of the Coroner Laws of Lagos State, this court recommends that the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, initiate appropriate legal action against Feyisayo Ogedengbe for unauthorized medical practice and gross negligence," Magistrate Shotobi stated in the ruling.
Background of Mohbad's Death
Ogedengbe was initially arrested in connection with Mohbad's death, which occurred under controversial circumstances on September 11, 2023. The singer's sudden passing sparked national outrage and public calls for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
During her testimony before the court in March 2025, Ogedengbe admitted to administering a tetanus injection to the late singer, after which he reportedly began vomiting and experienced adverse reactions that ultimately led to his death.
The case has drawn significant attention in Nigeria's entertainment industry and among fans who have been following developments closely since the singer's untimely death nearly two years ago.
This recommendation from the Coroner's Court represents a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of the young artist who had gained popularity in Nigeria's music scene.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecution is expected to review the coroner's findings and determine the appropriate charges to be filed against Ogedengbe in the coming weeks.
