The Nigeria Police Force, Lagos Command, has announced that the auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, who injected Mohbad, is the prime suspect in the singer’s death.
The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Idowu Owohunwa, made this known while briefing the media about the ongoing investigation into the singer’s demise on social media on Friday.
He explained that five suspects had so far been identified, arrested, detained, and interrogated for their alleged roles in the sequence of events that led to the death of the singer.
Owohunwa said: “Miss Feyisayo Ogedengbe is the auxiliary nurse who was contacted and invited by Ayobami Sadiq (a.k.a. Spending), a friend of Mohbad, on September 11, 2023, to treat the singer at the deceased’s residence at Lekki-Lagos.
“She eventually came on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, and administered three different injections, which are believed to have occasioned the chain of reactions that directly resulted in the death of the singer.
“She is the principal suspect in the death of Mohbad.
“She acknowledged that it was the injections that she administered to the deceased that triggered the reactions that eventually led to Mohbad’s death. Other expert opinions and witness statements corroborated her admission.
“Her actions of administering doses of Tetanus Toxoid, Paracetamol (IV), and Ceftriaxone injection (IV) on Mohbad at his residence on September 12, 2023, immediately and directly triggered the reactions (including vomiting, goose bumps, and convulsions) that eventually resulted in the singer’s death.
“This criminal liability is further heightened given the evidential fact that, as an auxiliary nurse, she is not qualified to administer such medications or function as a qualified nurse.
“She also did this in a non-clinical environment and in a professionally negligent manner that negated standard medical protocols.”
