MR. Joseph Oluwabamiwo Aloba, father of late music star, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba a.k.a. Mohbad has asked the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Lawal Pedro (SAN) to prosecute the deceased’s wife, Omowunmi Aloba, and the auxiliary nurse, Miss Ogedengbe Fisayo for the death of the music star within the next 14 days.
Others whose prosecution was sought by Mohbad’s father included Ibrahim Owodunni a.k.a. Prime Boy and others who were in the apartment of the deceased at the time of death, who either facilitated the invitation of the auxiliary nurse or refused to take him promptly to a recognised medical facility for treatment.
The demand followed the verdict of the Coroner, Magistrtate Adetayo Shotobi, dated July 11, 2025 which indicted them of alleged complicity in the death of the late singer.
The father of the late music star made the demand through his counsel, Dr. Wahab Shittu (SAN), in a petition dated October 3, 2025 submitted yesterday to the office of the Attorney General at the Ministry of Justice, Alausa secretariat, Ikeja.
The petition was titled “Demand for prosecution of indicted persons pursuant to the verdict of the coroner’s inquest into the death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (a.k.a. “Mohbad”)
Shittu stated that in the alternative, should the Attorney General for any reason, not be minded to prosecute the above persons within the demanded period of 14 days, “we respectfully request that a fiat be graciously granted to us within such period, in accordance with the provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Lagos State, to prosecute the matter on behalf of the State.
He referred to persons indicted by the coroner verdict to include “Miss Ogedengbe Fisayo, indicted for unlawful medical practice and gross medical negligence” and “Mrs. Omowunmi Aloba, indicted for negligence in the circumstances surrounding the medical treatment sought for the deceased.”
They also include “others in the apartment of the deceased at the time of death, who either facilitated the invitation of the auxiliary nurse or refused to take him promptly to a recognised medical facility for treatment. This includes Ibrahim Owodunni a.k.a. Prime Boy, etc.”
Dr Shittu stated that his client, as a bereaved father desirous of ensuring that justice is done and seen to be done, is deeply concerned that notwithstanding the clear indictments contained in the Coroner’s Verdict, no prosecutorial steps have been taken against the aforementioned persons since the delivery of the verdict on July 11, 2025.
The learned silk drew the attention of the Attorney General to salient excerpts of the verdict on Page 66, where the coroner observed as follows:
“…Miss Ogedengbe Feyisayo, who was summoned by a witness summons. According to her account, she observed swelling on Mohbad’s right arm. Without conducting any formal diagnostic assessment, she proceeded to administer three injections in succession: tetanus injection intramuscularly into the upper left arm; paracetamol—for pain relief; and ceftriaxone—a broad spectrum antibiotic….
“She is not a certified registered nurse, nor a licensed doctor or pharmacist. She administered injections without conducting a medical diagnosis.
“Consequently, at page 72 of the Verdict, His Honour expressly recommended that Feyisayo be prosecuted for unlawful medical practice and gross negligence.”
“Further, at page 69, His Honour made findings concerning Mrs. Omowunmi Aloba as follows:
“First, the deceased was treated at home by an uncertified auxiliary nurse whose competence and training were later brought into question.
“As the closest person to the deceased, and given his status as a public figure, the decision to seek home treatment—especially by someone whose credentials were unclear—appears negligent, even if driven by fear or preference from the deceased.
“Secondly, Omowunmi was a direct eyewitness to the medical emergency but did not insist on calling emergency services or ensuring proper ambulance care…”
The senior lawyer stated that the above judicial observations amount to clear indictments warranting the prosecution of the said individuals in order to give full effect to the Coroner’s findings and recommendations, and to ensure that justice is manifestly and adequately served in this matter.
The learned silk requested the Attorney General to exercise his prosecutorial power on the above subject matter within 14 days in view of the highly sensitive nature of the matter and the public attention and outrage it has generated.
