Mohbad's autopsy results ready soon.

The forensic expert assured the public of adequate security and monitoring of samples for the autopsy.

Dr Richard Somiari, Director of Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, has revealed the result of an autopsy conducted on deceased singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, will be ready in the next three weeks or four weeks.

Somiari gave the assurance while testifying during a coroner’s inquest into the death of the singer. The witness was cross-examined on Wednesday by defence counsel in the inquest.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the musician died on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day. He was aged 27 years.

His death generated controversies, prompting Lagos State Government to direct a coroner’s inquest into the death. The inquest, which began on October 13, 2023, is taking place at the Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court.

Somiari told the coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, "We expected to get the first set of autopsy results in three to four weeks and re-confirm to authenticate the cause of the death. We searched for multiple possibilities, to check if poison was involved in death of Mohbad since no actual cause was mentioned."

The forensic expert assured the public of adequate security and monitoring of samples for the autopsy.

"We have a place where items are stored for safety and security of results. There is a procedure for monitoring samples moved abroad," he said.

Also testifying, Sadiq Ayobami, popularly called Spending, said he saw the deceased last a day before his death. He said both of them attended a concert in Ikorodu and returned to his house after which he left before the singer’s death.

Abiodun Kolawole, an activist representing the African Women Lawyers Association, urged the parents of the deceased to channel their grievances to the court of law in respect of the paternity of the singer's child, instead of going through the social media.

Magistrate Shotobi adjourned the case until April 15 and directed all parties in the inquest to be present on that day.

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p...
