Forensic psychologist Uwom Eze has dismissed claims that singer Mohbad died from drug abuse.

Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Aloba, died on September 12, 2023, after receiving an injection administered by auxiliary nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe.

He was buried the next day, but his body was exhumed by police on September 21 for an autopsy.

In May 2024, the pathologist who conducted the first autopsy told the coroner’s court that the cause of death could not be determined due to the body’s decomposition.

A toxicology report in June 2024 revealed that Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine used to treat allergies, was present in Mohbad’s system, but not in a fatal concentration.

Appearing before the coroner’s court on Friday, Eze, who conducted a second autopsy and medical review, testified that no hard drugs were found in the singer’s body.

He said only “regulated” doses of antihistamines were detected — medications typically used to manage allergic reactions.

Eze also stated that although he could not determine how the injection was administered, the injury linked to it appeared superficial.

“Even a newborn baby won’t die from that injury. At the time I conducted the autopsy, it wasn’t even there, maybe because of post-mortem changes on the body,” he explained.

He further added, “I couldn’t tell how the injection was given, because I had already lost (his) fluids.”

The pathologist suggested that Mohbad might have died from a “severe allergic reaction” to the injected substance, which subsequently led to multiple organ failure, describing the incident as a “medical misadventure.”

“Considering all the postmortem findings, including ancillary tests and available information, a major disruption of vital organ systems of the body with resultant fatality due to a severe and rapid hypersensitivity reaction to a substance administered by parenteral route is plausible,” he said.

Coroner Adedayo Shotobi announced that the date for the final ruling would be communicated to all parties involved.
