The Ikorodu Magistrate’s Court in Lagos State has granted the family of the late singer Mohbad permission to conduct a second autopsy. The family had expressed dissatisfaction with the initial autopsy results, which were deemed inconclusive.
Mohbad, a 27-year-old singer, died under controversial circumstances on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day. Due to public demand for clarity on the cause of his death, his body was exhumed on September 21, 2023, for an autopsy by the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).
The family rejected the autopsy results as they failed to reveal the cause of death. They requested an independent toxicology report be submitted before the final report. During a hearing on June 26, 2024, the Ikorodu Magistrate’s Court granted permission for a second autopsy.
