The Lagos State Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu has recommended the criminal prosecution of auxiliary nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe for her role in the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Magistrate C.A. Shotobi, who delivered the court’s findings on Friday, ruled that Ogedengbe acted with gross negligence when she administered an injection to the singer without obtaining a proper prescription from a licensed medical doctor.
While the court ruled out foul play or homicide, it described Ogedengbe’s conduct as both unlawful and professionally irresponsible.
“In line with Section 29 of the Coroner Laws of Lagos State, this court recommends that the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, initiate appropriate legal action against Feyisayo Ogedengbe for unauthorized medical practice and gross negligence,” Magistrate Shotobi declared.
Mohbad died under controversial circumstances on September 11, 2023, sparking nationwide protests and demands for justice. Ogedengbe was subsequently arrested as part of investigations into the incident.
During her testimony before the coroner in March 2025, Ogedengbe admitted to administering a tetanus injection to the singer. He reportedly began vomiting and showing signs of adverse reactions shortly after.
The coroner’s conclusion marks a significant step forward in the case, with the public now awaiting further action from the Director of Public Prosecution.
