The Director of Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, Dr Richard Somiari, has assured Nigerians that the results of autopsy conducted on deceased singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, a.k.a Mohbad, would be ready in the next three weeks or four weeks. 

 Somiari, on Wednesday, March 20, made this known while testifying during a coroner’s inquest into the death of the singer.

 The witness was cross-examined by the defence counsel in the inquest. 

 Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27 years.

 There were so many controversies, prompting Lagos State Government to direct a coroner’s inquest into the death of the deceased. 

 The inquest began on October 13, 2023. During the last inquest hearing on March 20, Somiari assured the Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi that the autopsy will not be tampered with.

   “We expected to get the first set of autopsy results in three to four weeks and re-confirm to authenticate the cause of the death. “We searched for multiple possibilities, to check if poison was involved in the death of Mohbad since no actual cause was mentioned.” 

 The forensic expert assured the public of adequate security and monitoring of samples for the autopsy. 

 “We have a place where items are stored for safety and security of results. There is a procedure for monitoring samples moved abroad,” he said.
