Key witnesses in the ongoing inquest into the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, have been summoned by a Coroner’s Court in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
The Coroner’s Court issued a Summon requiring them to appear before it.
The witnesses summoned are: Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, Samson Eletu aka Sam Larry, Mohbad’s sister-in-law Karimot Ogunbayo, Boluwatife Adeyemo aka Darosha, and Mohbad’s lawyer Oluwasanmi Falade.
Additionally, the nurse who treated the deceased, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, and the driver who transported him to the hospital, Fidelis Esanbor, have also been summoned to provide testimony.
The court has granted the application by Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, to serve a witness summons on additional witnesses through a reputable national newspaper and social media.
Furthermore, the court has approved the application to recall Mohbad’s wife, Wunmi, and the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) in charge of the case, ASP Muhammad Yusuf, requiring them to provide further testimony.
