US lab denies performing toxicology on Mohbad

The National Medical Services Laboratories (NMS) in Pennsylvania has denied the claim by the Lagos state government on a toxicology test conducted to ascertain the cause of Mohbad’s death.

Born Ilerioluwa Aloba, the singer passed away on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day. On September 21, his body was exhumed by police for an autopsy.

In February, Gbenga Omotosho, the Lagos commissioner for information, revealed that the autopsy was conducted in the United States at the NMS labs.

“What do we do about Mohbad’s case? We sent the sample to the United States of America. If it were to be our laboratory here we can easily stroll down there and say what are you guys doing? This thing is taking time now.

However, according to report, in an email sent to the laboratory seeking clarifications on the claim by the state government, NMS labs through Esther Dede, the client services associate, forensics division, disclosed that no case related to Mohbad was being conducted at their facility.
