Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has asked the Lagos State government to prosecute his daughter-in-law, Omowunmi Aloba, along with others indicted in the Coroner’s Inquest into his son’s death.
Aloba made the demand in a letter written by his lawyer, Wahab Shittu, SAN, and addressed to the state’s Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Lawal Pedro, SAN.
He also called for the prosecution of the auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, who administered an injection to Mohbad shortly before his death.
The lawyer further urged the state to prosecute others present in the apartment at the time of Mohbad’s death, particularly those who facilitated the invitation of the auxiliary nurse or who failed to take him promptly to a recognised medical facility for treatment.
In July 2025, the Coroner, Magistrate Taofikat Shotobi, held that the actions of the auxiliary nurse were both “unlawful and professionally negligent.”
The Coroner recommended the criminal prosecution of Ogedengbe for medical misadventure or negligence, citing her administration of an injection without a doctor’s prescription.
Magistrate Shotobi also held Mohbad’s wife responsible for treating him at home instead of seeking immediate medical attention at a hospital.
