From the investigations conducted so far, the sequence of events that directly resulted in the death of Mohbad and the suspects directly involved have been established as follows:

On 10th September 2023, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad) attended a musical concert at Ikorodu Town Hall at about 2100hrs. This was on the invitation of Soso Soberekon to promote De-General Bitters beverages. Mohbad arrived at the event venue at about 1900hrs in the company of his wife, Mrs Cynthia Omowumi Adebanjo, and their 5-month-old baby; his childhood friend Ibrahim Oluwatosin Owoduni (Prime Boy), and Mohbad’s Personal Assistant, Adeyemo Boluwatife (Darosa). All of them were in the Prado Jeep that Mohbad hired for the event, driven by Fidelix Esanbor.

Others who accompanied Mohbad in separate vehicles include Ayobami Sadiq (Spending), Aduragbemi Shedrack Aloba (Mohbad’s younger brother), Ajisegiri Sultan Ayobami (Mohbad’s DJ), Aderinto Fawas Ademola (Adewest, Mohbad’s friend), and Olanrewaju Idris Adedoja (OG), his Photographer. Other musical acts that performed along with Mohbad at the show included Zlatan, Seun Kuti, and DJ Fokati.

At the end of his performance at about 2300hrs, as he made to exit the venue with his entourage, he discovered that his vehicle was blocked by other vehicles, even as some fans and Area Boys also mobbed him. Mohbad, who from witnesses’ evidence was said to be tipsy and hyperactive, became infuriated and attempted to come down to clear the road. However, Ibrahim prevailed on him not to for security reasons.

This further infuriated Mohbad and degenerated into a hot argument and physical fight between the two of them.

In the course of an attempt to hit Ibrahim with a blow, Mohbad missed and smashed the rear window of their Prado Jeep, which caused him an injury on his forehand from which he bled profusely. Eventually, the situation was brought under control, and all but Ibrahim left for Mohbad’s Lekki residence.

Upon arrival at home at about 0200hrs on 11th September 2023, Mohbad refused to go to the hospital to treat his injury despite persistent persuasion by his wife, staff, and friends. Later in the day, the injured and still bleeding hand started swelling and causing the singer unbearable pains. His friend Ayobami Sadiq (Spending), who noticed the discomfort, further insisted that he must go to the hospital for treatment. Mohbad still resisted and opted to call his personal nurse identified as Nurse Funmi, who unfortunately was unavailable.

At this point, Ayobami Sadiq (Spending) offered to call his own nurse, Ms. Feyisayo Ogedengbe, to attend to Mohbad, which he (Mohbad) consented to. When Ms. Feyisayo was contacted at about 1430hrs on Monday 11th September, 2023, she was also unavailable but promised to come the following day. Ahead of her arrival, she requested that the picture of the swollen hand/injury area be snapped and forwarded to her for assessment and to guide her on the medication to come along with. This was eventually done.

At about 1435hrs on 12th September 2023, Ms. Feyisayo eventually arrived armed with 1 Pack of Ceftriaxone injection; 1 Vial Paracetamol injection, Tetanus Toxoid injection, 1 Vial Procaine Penicillin, 7 ampules of IM Diclofenac, Tincture Iodine, and Needles/Syringes. She administered the Tetanus Toxoid on Mohbad’s arm and gave both the Paracetamol and Ceftriaxone injections intravenously.

Immediately after the Ceftriaxone injection was administered, Ms. Feyisayo confirmed that Mohbad started vomiting while goose bumps appeared on his face and all over his body. At this point, it dawned on her that Mohbad was reacting to the administered medication. She immediately ran out to procure hydrol and nisaline infusion. While at the Pharmacy in the locality, she got a call that Mohbad had started convulsing.

Eventually, Cynthia Omoduni Adebanjo, Aduragbemi Shedrack Aloba, Olarewaju Idris Adedoja, Ayinde Habib Idowu Damola, Aderinto Fawas Ademola, and Ms. Feyisayo rushed him to the hospital in the vehicle of Engr. Chinaka Jesse, their neighbor. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead on arrival at Cura-Med Hospital, Lekki. Not convinced, the team moved his body to Perez Hospital, Lekki where his death was re-certified. A death certificate was later issued by Cura-Med Hospital.

Mohbad’s father who had earlier been contacted, came to the late Mohbad’s house. After a short meeting, they resolved to move the body to Ikorodu for burial, which was done the following day, 13th September 2023 at about 1400hrs.
