“We consider it pertinent to put on record that at about 04:30 pm on 12th of September 2023, the lifeless body of Mr Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba was brought to our medical facility and our medical team immediately sprang into action and after assessment, it was discovered that there was no sign of life, no central or peripheral pulse, no heartbeat, no recordable vital signs and his pupils were fixed and dilated.”
Furthermore, the hospital provided additional details, explaining that Mohbad had reportedly received treatment at home through an injection administered by a nurse before his demise.
They recommended that Mohbad’s lifeless body be transported to the nearest morgue.
The hospital also clarified that the nurse who administered the injection to the singer was not employed by their institution, and that Mohbad had never received treatment at their facility.
“Upon enquiry about the circumstances leading to the emergency, it was informed that the deceased was being treated at home by a nurse and that she administered injections on him. Our team therefore advised that the body be taken to the nearest government Hospital where he can be deposited in the morgue. Let it be known that he was not a patient of Perez Medcare Hospital and was never admitted at the hospital at any material time whatsoever also the staff who was said to be administering treatment on him at home is not our staff,” the statement continued.
