Coroner Orders Prosecution of Nurse Over Mohbad’s Death

• A Lagos coroner has directed the DPP to prosecute Feyisayo Ogedengbe, the auxiliary nurse who administered the injection allegedly linked to Mohbad’s death.
• Magistrate C.A. Shotobi ruled that Ogedengbe acted unlawfully, as she is neither a registered nurse nor a licensed medical professional.
• The court also ordered an investigation into the police’s failure to act on a petition filed by Mohbad before his death, citing possible official negligence.

A Lagos State Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu has called for the prosecution of Feyisayo Ogedengbe, the auxiliary nurse who gave the injection alleged to have caused the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known professionally as Mohbad.

In her ruling on Friday, Magistrate C.A. Shotobi held that Ogedengbe lacked the legal and professional standing to administer the injection, pointing out that she was not registered as a nurse or certified as a medical practitioner. The court found her actions to be unlawful and in direct violation of medical standards.

“She was not qualified to carry out such medical responsibilities,” Magistrate Shotobi declared. “By administering that injection, she acted outside the boundaries of the law.”

The magistrate went on to voice concern over the current state of medical regulation in Nigeria, saying that gaps in enforcement have allowed individuals without proper credentials to perform roles reserved for licensed professionals.

“There is an urgent need for regulatory reform,” she noted.

The court also addressed concerns surrounding law enforcement’s failure to take action on a petition the late artist had submitted before his death. It ordered that an investigation be carried out to determine whether the Nigeria Police ignored or mishandled the complaint.

“The authorities must examine why nothing was done in response to the deceased’s petition. If any form of official negligence occurred, it must be addressed,” she added.

The ruling marks a significant development in the effort to uncover the truth behind Mohbad’s controversial death, with legal attention now shifting toward both the unauthorized medical treatment and the actions—or inactions—of the police.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has addressed growing public discourse surrounding 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidate Chinedu Okeke, reaffirming its commitment to data integrity and institutional transparency.

In a statement released by its Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, the examination body criticized the recent outcry on social media, describing the defense of Okeke as part of a troubling pattern where personal sentiments are placed above factual scrutiny.
