The Lagos State Police Command has identified Feyisayo Ogedengbe, an auxiliary nurse, as a prime suspect in the controversial demise of Nigerian rapper Mohbad.

In a press conference on Friday afternoon, Lagos State Police Commissioner Idowu Owohunwa provided an update on the ongoing investigation into the singer’s death.

Mr Owohunwa said the auxiliary nurse administered multiple highly potent injections, which triggered an immediate adverse reaction in the singer.

“At approximately 14:35hrs on September 12 2023, Miss Feyisayo arrived carrying a pack of Ceftriaxone injection, a paracetamol injection, along with several needles and syringes. She proceeded to administer these drugs, leading to Mohbad experiencing symptoms such as vomiting, goosebumps, and convulsions,” he said.

It was noted that Ms Ogedengbe was not qualified for the role and conducted the actions in a non-clinical setting, a manner characterised as professional negligence.

Several individuals, including the auxiliary nurse, Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Primeboy, a childhood friend of Mohbad, are presently in police custody as part of the ongoing investigation.

The police commissioner revealed they were in custody for their “alleged roles in the sequence of events that led to the singer’s death.”

Meanwhile, Mr Owohunwa said Mohbad’s autopsy results were still awaited as the investigation continued.

Mohbad, 27, died on September 12, a few weeks after he had petitioned the Assistant Inspector-General of Police heading the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Lagos, over threats to his life by Sam Larry and thugs who allegedly attacked him with guns, cutlasses and other weapons while shooting a video with Zlatan. Several videos where Naira Marley was accused of threatening Mohbad, his former signee, also surfaced after the “KPK” singer’s death.
