Perez Medcare Hospital, the hospital where Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba alias Mohbad was said to have received an injection by a nurse that caused his death has distanced itself from those claims.
According to a statement signed by the hospital management and seen by this blog on its Instagram handle @ perezmedcare_hospital, Mohbad was brought in dead.
The statement says that the nurse who was reported to have administered the injection that caused Mohad’s death is not a staff of the establishment.
The statement read in part:
"The attention of the management of Perez Medcare Hospital has been drawn to the misleading and false information being circulated in some social media platforms that Mr. Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (AKA Mohbad) died in our medical facility.
"We consider it pertinent to put on record that at about 04:30pm on the 12th of September 2023, the lifeless body of Mr. Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (AKA Mohbad) was brought to our medical facility and our medical team immediately sprang into action and after assessment, it was discovered that there was no sign of life, no central or peripheral pulse, no heartbeat, no recordable vital signs and his pupils were fixed and dilated.
"On attempting CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), rigor mortis (stiffening of some parts of the body in relation to death) was observed and the persons who brought him to our facility were informed that it was a case of BID (Brought in dead).
"Upon enquiry about the circumstances leading to the emergency, our team was informed that the deceased was being treated at home by a nurse and that she administered injections on him.
"Our team thereafter advised that the body be taken to the nearest Government Hospital where he can be deposited in the morgue.
"Let it be known that Mr. Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (AKA Mohbad) was not a patient of Perez Medcare Hospital and was never admitted at our hospital at any material time whatsoever.
"Also, the nurse who was said to be administering treatment on him at home is not a staff of Perez Medcare Hospital and the video of the medical facility circulating In the media space in which the late Mr. Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (AKA Mohbad) is seen alive and receiving treatment is not Perez Medcare Hospital."
The hospital management condoled Mohbad’s family and called for a thorough investigation into the circumstances of his sudden death.
Mohbad was a 27-year-old Nigerian Musician and former signee of Marlian Records who died in controversial circumstances on 12 September and was buried the next day.
Photos and videos showing Mohbad being physically assaulted by persons believed to be affiliated to his former record label, Marlian Records, quickly surfaced online, sparking outrage. A petition that the late musician had written to the Nigeria police alleging a threat to life was also shared across social media platforms.
This led to local and international protests by concerned
individuals and groups who suspected foul play in the death of the musician and
wanted an investigation carried out to ascertain the true cause of Mohad’s
death.
Following this, the Nigeria Police announced on 16 September
that it had commenced a full investigation into the case.
On September 21, the Nigeria Police announced on its
social media accounts that an autopsy procedure had been successfully concluded
for Mohbad, promising to provide further information as soon as results are
available.
Information about the autopsy reports of Mohbad was yet to be
provided to the general public by the Nigeria Police Force by the time this
blog went to press.
