The Lagos State Judiciary has officially declared that a coroner’s inquest to determine the cause of death of the late singer Mohbad will commence on September 29, 2023.

Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, passed away on September 12, 2023, and was laid to rest the following day.

The circumstances surrounding the young artist’s untimely death have generated significant controversy on social media platforms and led to nationwide protests by thousands of his fans who are demanding justice for the late singer.

Last week, the law firm Falana & Falana Chambers submitted a formal request for a coroner’s inquest to be conducted to ascertain the cause of Mohbad’s death.

In a letter dated September 18, the firm stated, “Given the needless death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, we are compelled to request a coroner’s inquest to be conducted into the cause of death of this young promising musician.”

In response to this request, Mojisola A. Dada, the Lagos Chief Coroner, addressed a letter to the law firm on Tuesday, confirming that the inquiry into Mohbad’s death would indeed begin on September 29.

The inquest is scheduled to take place at Magistrate Court 3, Candide-Johnson Courthouse, Ita-Elewa, Ikorodu, Lagos, starting at 12:00 noon.

The letter was signed by T.A. Shotobi, the magistrate who will preside over the proceedings.
