The toxicology test conducted in the United States to determine the cause of death of the late musician  Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, has been completed and submitted to authorities, according to an anonymous source.

The circumstances sparked social media controversy, leading to the formation of a 13-person special investigation team by the Lagos State Police Command in September 2023.

Mohbad, a former artist under Naira Marley’s Marlian Music record label, left the label in February 2022.

His death led Naira Marley’s arrest and that of socialite Balogun Eletu (Sam Larry), among others.

Mohbad’s body was exhumed for autopsy on September 21, 2023.

However, a Lagos State government official, speaking anonymously to Punch on Thursday, confirmed the test results arrived last week at the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre before being sent to the police earlier this week.

The toxicology test is ready and given to the police. We projected 10 weeks from the outset but it came in before then. It was received by the DNA and Forensic Centre last week and has been sent to the police, the source said.

The source stated that the result has been sent to the pathologist who carried out the autopsy to analyse and interpret it.

The anonymous policeman said, The toxicology report is with us. It arrived on Monday but it is medical jargon for us. We dont understand what it is. So it has been sent to the pathologist that carried out the autopsy to analyse and interpret it.
