'Mohbad vomited, had goose bumps after receiving three injections' - Police

The Lagos State Police Command has declared the auxiliary nurse, Ms. Feyisayo Ogedengbe, who injected Mohbad, as the prime suspect in the singer’s death.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, Idowu Owohunwa, who gave an update in respect of the ongoing investigation into the singer’s death in a press briefing yesterday, explained that five suspects had so far been arrested, detained and interrogated on their alleged roles in the sequence of events that led to Mohbad’s death.

Owohunwa said the auxiliary nurse was contacted and invited by Ayobami Sadiq a.k.a. Spending, a friend to Mohbad, on 11th September, 2023 to treat the singer at the deceased’s residence at Lekki-Lagos.

He said: “When Ms Feyisayo was contacted at about 1430hrs on Monday 11th September, 2023, she was also unavailable but promised to come the following day, being Tuesday, 12th September, 2023.

“Ahead of her arrival, she requested that the picture of the swollen hand/injury area be snapped and forwarded to her for assessment and to guide her on the medication to come along with. This was eventually done.

“At about 1435hrs on 12th September, 2023, Ms Feyisayo eventually arrived armed with 1 Pack of Ceftriaxone injection; 1 Vial Paracetamol injection, Tetanus Toxoid injection, 1 Vial Procaine Penicillin, 7 ampules of IM Diclofenac, Tincture Iodine, and Needles/Syringes.

“Ms Feyisayo administered the Tetanus Toxoid on the arm of Mohbad and gave both the Paracetamol and Ceftriaxone injection intravenously.

“Immediately the Ceftriaxone injection was administered, Ms Feyisayo confirmed that Mohbad started vomiting while goose bumps appeared on the face and all over his body.

“At this point, it dawned on Ms Feyisayo that Mohbad was reacting to the administered medication. She consequently ran out to procure hydrol and nisaline infusion.

“While at the Pharmacy in the locality, she got a call that Mohbad had started convulsing.

Eventually, Cynthia Omoduni Adebanjo, Aduragbemi Shedrack Aloba, Olarewaju Idris Adedoja, Ayinde Habib Idowu Damola, Aderinto Fawas Ademola, and Ms. Feyisayo rushed him to the hospital in the vehicle of Engr. Chinaka Jesse, their neighbour.

“Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead on arrival at Cura-Med Hospital, Lekki.

“Not convinced, the team moved his body to Perez Hospital, Lekki where his death was re-certified.

“A death certificate was later issued by Cura-Med Hospital. Mohbad’s father, who had earlier been contacted, came to the late Mohbad’s house and after a short meeting, resolved to move the body to Ikorodu for burial, which was done the following day, 13th September 2023 at about 1400hrs.

“Feyisayo Ogedengbe is not a qualified registered nurse, and her illegal and medical negligence are believed to have been directly responsible for the chain reactions and eventual death of Mohbad at 1543hrs on 12th September, 2023.

“The time within which Auxiliary Nurse Ogedengbe administered the injections on Mohbad, through his reaction, convulsion and his eventual death is confirmed to be within less than an hour covering from 1440hrs when the principal suspect administered the sets of injections and 1543hrs when Mohbad was confirmed dead at Cura-Med Hospital, Lekki.

“Aside her admittance to the consequences of her actions, the report of the Medical Panel that reviewed Auxiliary Nurse Feyisayo’s actions concluded that she went beyond her limitations as an auxiliary nurse by administering IV Ceftriaxone on the deceased, and that this from their review, was the most likely cause of the anaphylactic reaction which could have been promptly resolved and his death possibly prevented if the deceased was treated in the hospital.”

Also speaking at the press briefing at the state Command Headquarters, Ikeja, Owohunwa revealed that there were ample electronic and credible witnesses’ evidence linking singer Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley, and a music promoter, Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, to cyberbullying, threat to life and assault occasioning harm on Mohbad.
