The list of witnesses who will testify in the case has been finalized by the coroner’s inquest, which is looking into the circumstances surrounding the death of IleriOluwa Oladimeji Aloba, also known as MohBad, who was 27 years old.

The decision was taken by the attorneys in a private conference away from the media during the first preliminary hearing, which took place on Friday at the Candide Johnson Courthouse in Ikorodu, Lagos State.

The purpose of the first sitting, according to Funmi Falana, the attorney who represented Mohbad’s family, was to establish how many witnesses would be called to testify.

In order to obtain justice, we decided today how the legal processes would assist in determining how and when he passed away.

We have fixed October 13th, for the next hearing and we would call our witnesses.”

She added that people should be hopeful as the coroner will ensure justice for the late singer.

“We represent the interest of Justice, let’s allow peace to reign but, justice must be served.” She said.

Recall that on September 14, Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, said the singer passed away after receiving an injection administered by an auxiliary nurse on September 12, 2023

The late singer’s remains have been deposited at the mortuary, according to a statement made by the Lagos State Police Command.

Chief Coroner of the High Court of Lagos, Justice Mojisola Dada, last Wednesday, set up an inquest to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of the artiste.

The setting up of the inquest was a sequel to a demand by human rights lawyer Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, for the coroner to conduct a thorough investigation into Mohbad’s tragic death.
