Coroner’s inquest into Mohbad’s death to begin Friday
The Lagos State Judiciary will, on Friday, September 29, begin a coroner’s inquest into the death of a Lagos-based musician, Ilerioluwa “Mohbad” Aloba, to ascertain the cause of his death.
This is contained in a letter by the chief coroner of the state, Justice Mojisola Dada.
The letter, dated September 26, was sent to the office of Falana and Falana Chambers.
It was in response to a request by the owner of the chambers and rights activist, Femi Falana (SAN).
The letter was signed by Magistrate T. A. Shotobi, who will preside over the inquest.
The letter read in part: “I have the directive of the Chief Coroner, Lagos State, Justice Mojisola Dada, to notify your good office of the lordship’s order to convoke an inquest into death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (a.k.a. Mohbad).
“The inquest will take place at 12:00 p.m. in Court Three, Candide-Johnson Courthouse, Ita-Elewa, in Ikorodu, Lagos.
“We solicit your kind assistance in ensuring the attendance of your office.”
Mr Falana had, on September 18, requested a coroner’s inquest into the death of the late musician.
Mr Falana requested the controversial death of the musician on September 12 and his burial the following day.
The lawyer’s request for the inquest was contained in a letter to the chief coroner of the High Court of Lagos State, Ikeja.
