Feyisayo Ogedengbe, the auxiliary nurse who attended to the late singer Mohbad, has disclosed that he experienced a severe reaction following a tetanus injection she administered. Testifying before Justice C.A. Shotobi at the Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, Ogedengbe stated that Mohbad began vomiting and developed goosebumps after receiving the injection. She explained that on September 12, Ayobami Sodiq contacted her to treat Mohbad. Upon arriving, she observed a swollen cut on his right hand. Ogedengbe administered a tetanus shot, paracetamol, and ceftriaxone to address a bacterial infection.
However, shortly after, Mohbad started feeling unwell, vomited, and developed goosebumps. According to Ogedengbe, his wife, Omowunmi, regarded these symptoms as a typical reaction to injections.
She said: “After vomiting in the toilet, he returned to the room and sat on the floor where I noticed the goosebumps on his body.
“I showed his wife (Omowunmi) the reaction, and she said it was his normal response to injections.
“Omowunmi then took Mohbad to the bathroom and began pouring water on his head.
“After visiting another pharmacy and obtaining the necessary hydrocortisone injection and normal saline infusion, we returned to find Mohbad outside the house. By then, preparations were underway to take him to the hospital.
“Due to a lack of available vehicles and heavy traffic, Mohbad was transported to the hospital on a motorcycle, where he was later declared dead on arrival by the medical team.”
The Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions at a Magistrates Court, sitting in Sabo, Yaba, Lagos has stated on February 2025 that Ogedengbe and Sodiq will face prosecution for reckless and negligent acts under Section 251 (e) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The court has acquitted Naira Marley, Sam Larry, Primeboy, and Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde.
