A Nigerian lawyer has come under heavy criticism on social media after revealing his role in the ongoing investigation into the death of singer Mohbad.
Mohbad, a fast-rising music star, passed away on September 12, 2023, leaving behind a 4-month-old son, his wife, and other grieving family members. Since his passing, attempts to determine the precise cause of death have hit several roadblocks.
Just days ago, a coroner attributed the cause of Mohbad’s death to medical negligence, a verdict that sparked intense reactions across various social media platforms.
In a new statement, the lawyer claimed that the situation was unfolding in a way typical of many African contexts, alleging that Mohbad’s widow, Wunmi, was being unfairly targeted. He further asserted that the actions against her appeared both intentional and strategic.
However, his remarks triggered a wave of online criticism, with many netizens strongly disagreeing with his perspective.
He wrote:
“I was the first Nigerian lawyer that wrote the Chief Coroner of Lagos in respect of Mohbad’s death. I also participated in the Coroner. Barely 4 sittings, I had an idea of how Mohbad died. The attack on Wunmi, his wife, is deliberate and calculated. That lady is being victimized.”
“It is common in Africa to see husband family members accusing the wife of their late son as the mastermind of death. In some cultures, the widow will be cruelly compelled to indulge in rituals to prove her innocence. The barbaric culture is still around and Wunmi is yet a victim.”

@antiGOVTt:”How many of the people around Mohbad did you investigate?”
@antiGOVTt”I disagree with you. The idea you have is probably skewed. How thorough was your investigation?”
@n_wike54806:”Not to sound stupid or anything, did you guys bother asking for a DNA test?”
@Adeyem_Ishola:”If you are actually a human rights lawyer as you claimed, you probably would have said something about how Wunmi went from one station to another to claimed ignorance of what you typed here but to indict NAIRA MARLY.”
@Imma_nuel042:”Abegii, spare me with all that pity card jor. In a murder case everybody around the deceased 48 hours to his/her is a prime suspect regardless of who you are. You are a lawyer so you should know better.”
@mrfestusogun:”You know better than me and that’s entirely fine. But, the Coroner indicted only the nurse. The rest are as free as a bird.”
@EjiroDafe1:”Nigerians are still arguing with the this lawyer. We have a lot of retarded young people in this country. It’s appealing.”
@Requeza2:”I suspect the ceftriaxone sha, cuz it’s packed with lidocaine for IM;& H²O for IV, the quack probably bought IM pack diluted with lidocaine and pushed IV, that is the most probable cause in all this, the wife is only being victimized.”
