Iyabo Ojo, the Nigerian actress, has expressed regret over
her involvement in the exhumation of the body of Mohbad, the late singer.
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, and was buried the
following day.
However, on September 21, 2023, his body was exhumed by the
police for an autopsy.
In May 2024, the pathologist in charge of the autopsy
revealed that the cause of death could not be determined due to the
decomposition of his body.
A toxicology report obtained by TheCable in June 2024 showed
that Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, was found in his system.
However, it was not in a lethal concentration.
In an interview with Biola Bayo, her colleague, Ojo, who had
called for justice in the singer’s death, shared her regrets regarding the
situation.
She expressed regret over the delays caused by the
exhumation and ongoing disputes within Mohbad’s family.
“I did my best. If I knew Mohbad’s case would turn out this
way, I wouldn’t have requested that he be exhumed,” she said.
“He hasn’t been buried till now. The dad says he wants a DNA
test done, and I hear the court has granted that now but I hear the dad has
conditions again.”
Iyabo Ojo explained that her intention in requesting the
exhumation was to facilitate an autopsy to uncover the cause of Mohbad’s death
and ensure justice.
She stated that she made efforts to push for investigations,
but “various theories and distractions” shifted the focus away from the pursuit
of justice.
“I just wanted his body exhumed so they could do the
autopsy, find out the cause of his death,” she added.
“I did my best to make sure everyone was investigated but
when they came up with different theories, DNA became their target and was more
important.”
In October 2023, Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, vowed that
Mohbad would not be reburied until a DNA test was conducted on Liam, the
singer’s son.
He also called on the police to probe Omowunmi, Mohbad’s
wife, to unravel the cause of the singer’s death.
In December 2023, Wunmi agreed to the DNA test but requested
it be conducted at three hospitals.
She also accused her father-in-law of bullying her and Liam
on social media and seeking to claim Mohbad’s properties.
