The Lagos State government has announced the release of the toxicology report on the late singer Mohbad, following tests conducted in the United States.
The update was provided by the state’s Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Lawal Pedro SAN, on the 21st of October, 2024, during a press briefing at the Ministry of Justice in Ikeja, marking his first year in office.
Pedro also disclosed the government’s intention to begin a trial aimed at identifying those responsible for Mohbad’s death, explaining that the delay was due to an extensive investigation process.
“On Mohbad case, I agree there has been a delay, and the delay is caused by time taken for investigation.
“Forensic analysis and toxicology, are all part of the investigation. Full proof investigation that can lead at least to conviction in a case that is presented before the courts.
“The reports have been received from the United States. The autopsy is now with the Lagos State Pathologist and the Coroner magistrate.
“The delay is now with Mohbad’s family who have indicated that they would like to conduct their independent autopsy but despite this, the trial will soon commence and the court will do justice in the matter,” the AG said.
