Contrary to word of wife of late Mohbad, Wunmi, who in multiple interviews gave a different account about the sudden dismissal of the singer, Mohbad, a nurse during coroner shared a fresh details of what happened.
During the coroner’s inquest into the death of singer Mohbad, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, admitted that Mohbad had a reaction and started vomiting after she administered a tetanus injection to him.
Testifying before Justice C.A. Shotobi at the Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, on Friday, March 14, Ogedengbe narrated that she was called by one Ayobami Sodiq (known as Spending) to treat Mohbad for a cut on September 11, 2023. The following day, she administered tetanus, paracetamol, and antibiotic injections.
The Nurse said:
”On Sept 11, 2023 I was at Cotonou to process my admission. As I was on my way back , I saw Spending’s missed call and I called him back. Then he told me I should come and treat his friend in the house who had a cut. I told him I was just coming back from Cotonou. I later missed his calls because I couldn’t pick up. As I got to CMS, a call came in from DJ Bami, he introduced himself that he was from Spending. I couldn’t go to the house that day.
I got there the next day at about 2:30pm. I met a guy in the sitting room carrying Liam and DJ Bami led me upstairs. On getting to the room Mohbad was, I saw some water on the floor which Dj Bami mopped. We then moved Mohbad from the room he was to another room. It was only the 4 of us that were upstairs. Me, Mohbad, Djbami and Wunmi.
As I was giving the first injection, Mohbad asked me the type of injection I wanted to give him and I told him Tetanus Injection, Paracetamol Injection and antibiotics. I first gave him Tetanus and Paracetamol Injection. After I gave him the paracetamol injection, Wunmi said he had ulcer. When I gave him the third injection, he started reacting and saying he wanted to throw up. Djbami and wunmi led him to the bathroom where he threw up. After throwing up, he sat down on the floor and was very weak.
Then, goose bumps appeared on his body. Wunmi told me that is how he used to react to injection and I told her that she should have told me before. She then said that if they pour water on his head, he will calm down. Wunmi then poured water on him. When I saw the goose bumps, Dj Bami and I quickly went down to rush to the pharmacy so we could get an antidote. We got to the first pharmacy but they didn’t have what we wanted, we then went to another pharmacy. They called Djbami from the house that Mohbad was convulsing and I told them to rush him to the hospital.
When DjBami and I got back to the house, we saw that they were carrying Mohbad out of the house. They carried him like a baby and rushed him to the neighbor’s car. Wunmi and I sat in the front while some guys were with him at the back(I don’t know those guys). As we were going, we met a terrible traffic that was not moving at all so we had to transfer him to a bike.
I was begging all the drivers in the traffic to give us space so the bike could move Mohbad. A guy was with Mohbad in the bike. As the bike was moving, Djbami and I followed the bike to the hospital. The hospital was not far to where we were. When we got to the hospital, the doctor asked if I gave him a diclofenac and I said No. I told him the injections I gave him. He then said Mohbad had passed away.
They issued a d*ath certificate and gave it to DJ Bami. I never set my eyes on Adura throughout the time I was in the house. It was when we got to the hospital that Adura came to meet us. We went to the second hospital who also confirmed to us that Mohbad had d!ed. It was Darosha that took us there. The doctor asked me what I gave him and I explained. She told me to get out of her sight. We then took his body back home. When we got back to the house, they closed the door and restricted people from entering. There was a lot of crowd outside. Throughout the time that I was in the house, till I left, I never set my eyes on Baba Mohbad
What I gave Mohbad was the right medication that would be given to anybody with a cut. The lower part of his hand was very swollen and I gave him the tetanus injection on the upper hand. Before I got to that house that day, I told Djbami to send me the picture of the cut so I could know what to bring to the house. I was about 5 mins to the house before I got the picture.
If they had sent that picture before I left my house, I wouldn’t have gone to Mohbad’s house because it was just a small cut. I would have told them to take him to a nearby pharmacy. I actually thought I was a qualified auxiliary nurse until Mohbad’s case started and they said I am not. I have an O level and I trained at the hospital from 2014-2017
I knew Spending through a referral and he has recommended many people to me before Mohbad’s incident. Spending was not in the house when the whole issue happened. I don’t know why they waited for me to come from Cotonou. The period from when they called me till I got there was about 22 hours. The time interval from when I treated Mohbad to when they said he was de*d was just 2 hours. I asked Djbami about the cut before I started treating Mohbad and he said it was a glass cut and they already removed the glass from his hand the previous day”
(NEXT CORONER DATE IS MARCH 21, 2025
