EKO HOT BLOG reports that Dr. Richard Somiari, Director of the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, has revealed that the autopsy conducted on the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, will be finalized within the next three to four weeks.
This announcement was made during Somiari’s testimony at a coroner’s inquest into Mohbad’s death.
Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27, sparking controversy nationwide and beyond. In response, the Lagos State Government initiated a coroner’s inquest to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.

The inquest began on October 13, 2023, and is taking place at the Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court.
Somiari, who the defence counsel cross-examined in the inquest, told the Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, that the Forensic Centre searched multiple possibilities if the singer died of poison since there was no actual cause mentioned.
The forensic expert further assured the public of adequate security and monitoring of samples for the autopsy.
He said, “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.
“We have a place where items are stored for safety and security of results. There is a procedure for monitoring samples moved abroad.”
