Pathologist: Allergic Reaction Likely Cause of Mohbad’s Death, not Drug Abuse

Published

on

Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, after receiving an injection administered by Feyisayo Ogedengbe.

He was buried the following day. On September 21, 2023, his body was exhumed by police for an autopsy.

In May 2024, the pathologist in charge of the autopsy revealed that the cause of death could not be determined due to the decomposition of his body.

A toxicology report obtained by TheCable in June 2024 showed that Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, was found in his system. However, it was not in a lethal concentration.

During the coroner’s court sitting on Friday, Eze, who conducted the second autopsy and medical review on Mohbad, argued that what was discovered in the singer’s system was not hard drugs but “regulated” doses of antihistamines, medications commonly used to treat allergy symptoms.

He added that he could not determine how the injection was administered, but upon examining the injury that led to it, he found it to be superficial.

“Even a newborn baby won’t die from that injury. At the time I conducted the autopsy, it wasn’t even there, maybe because of the post-mortem changes on the body,” he said.

“I couldn’t tell how the injection was given, because I had already lost (his) fluids.”

The pathologist said the singer may have died from a “severe allergic reaction” to the injected substance, which led to multiple organ failure.

He described the case as a “medical misadventure”.

 

“Considering all the postmortem findings, including ancillary tests and available information, a major disruption of vital organ systems of the body with resultant fatality due to a severe and rapid hypersensitivity reaction to a substance administered by parenteral route is plausible,” he added.

I started my life in face-me-I-face-you apartment – Davido

Published

on

Nigerian Afrobeats singer Davido has claimed that he started his life in a one-room apartment in a public compound, known locally as a face-me-I-face-you.

The singer made the claim on a song titled CFMF, off his fifth studio album, 5ive, which was released on Friday.

He claimed that he is now living a flamboyant life due to Jesus’s divine intervention.

“Take a step and walk into my life…

Started all the way from face me I face you

Face me I face you

And now, I am living real large all thanks to Jesu

All thanks to Jesu oh,” he sings.

His claim has been met with a groundswell of doubts, especially on social media, as the singer is known to be the son of billionaire businessman Deji Adeleke.

This is not the first time Davido has attempted to paint a grass-to-grace story in his music.

On his debut 2011 single, Back When, Davido claimed many ladies rejected his advances when he had no money but began chasing him after he achieved fame and success.

The song didn’t achieve much commercial success, partly due to the doubts that greeted his claims of humble beginnings, as he was known to be from a wealthy background.

Davido finally gained widespread prominence after the release of his 2012 breakthrough single, Dami Duro, where he embraced his wealthy background and boasted that he was unstoppable as the son of a rich man.
