The Lagos State National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) has shed light on the arrest of a suspect who injected the late singer, Mohbad, revealing that the suspect is not a registered nurse.

Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, had previously stated in a viral interview that his son died after receiving an injection from an auxiliary nurse on September 12.

In an official statement released on Saturday by the State Secretary, Toba Odumosu, the NANNM formally disclosed this piece of information.

“The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives, Lagos State Council, extends its deepest condolences to the associates and family of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as we mourn his tragic passing.”

“We lend our full support to the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death and urge the relevant authorities to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice for him.”

“However, we must stress the importance of professionalism in reporting and conducting this investigation. NANNM is closely monitoring the situation with keen interest. Our preliminary investigations indicate that the individual reportedly taken into custody by the police for providing care to Mohbad is not a registered nurse.”

“We emphasize the critical need to verify the qualifications and professional status of individuals before labelling them as healthcare professionals.”
