A Lagos State Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu has ordered the trial of the auxiliary nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe who allegedly injected late rapper and singer Ilerioluwa Aloba a.k.a Mohbad.
The unregistered nurse was invited to come and treat the late singer after he sustained a cut in his hand during a scuffle, but the tetanus injection triggered more complications leading to Mohbad’s untimely death in September 2023.
Delivering her ruling on Friday, Magistrate C.A. Shotobi held that Ms Ogedengbe was neither a registered nurse nor a licensed medical practitioner and, therefore, acted unlawfully by administering the tetanus injection that reportedly triggered the complications resulting in the singer’s death.
”In pursuant to section 29 of the coroner laws of Lagos State, this court recommends that the prosecution of the unlicensed medical personnel by the office of the Director of Public Prosecution should commence appropriate prosecution against Felicia Ogedengbe for unlawful medical practice and gross negligence,” the magistrate said.
The coroner also expressed concern over regulatory lapses in the health sector, which she said have allowed unqualified individuals to operate as healthcare providers
In a related directive, the court ordered an investigation into the failure of the Nigeria Police to act on a petition filed by the late singer before his death, urging the relevant authorities to determine whether there was official negligence.
