Mohbad’s wife, dad, mum arrive court for coroner’s inquest

The family of the late singer Mohbad, including his wife, his father and his mother on Wednesday arrived at a corona court in Lagos for an inquest into the death of the singer whose real name is Oladimeji Aloba.

A video of the singer’s family walking into the court premises was shared on social media on Wednesday afternoon.

Coroner Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi had on October 13 summoned musicians Naira Marley and Primeboy and also socialite Sam Larry to appear before the court on October 25 in an ongoing inquest to determine the cause of Mohbad’s death.

The coroner instructed the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, to ensure the presence of the trio at the next adjourned date of October 25.

The court did not however invite the nurse whom the police considered one of the prime suspects in the case.

Last week, the police said that Naira Marley and Sam Larry are being held for alleged cyberbullying, threats to life, and assault resulting in harm to Mohbad.

Commissioner of Police Idowu Owohunwa said that Primeboy was complicit in the case because he gave Mohbad a life-threatening injury during a fight.

Primeboy submitted himself to the police last Thursday after he was declared wanted by the police for allegedly failing to honour invitation for questioning. He, however, told the news media before turning himself in that he did not get any invitation from the police.

Mohbad died under controversial circumstances on September 12 at the age of 27.

Sam Larry and musician Naira Marley have been at the centre of public outrage over the singer’s death.
