“Five suspects have so far been interrogated in relation to the ongoing investigation”.
The Prime Suspect
To Owohunwa, the nurse that treated the singer before his death is the principal suspect.
He said the auxiliary nurse was not qualified to administer injections on Mohbad, adding that the injections triggered other things leading to the singer’s death.
The Commissioner, however, said the result of the autopsy conducted on the deceased was still being awaited.
The Lagos State Police Command is currently detaining popular singer, Naira Marley, Lagos socialite, Sam Larry and a childhood friend of Mohbad, Owodunni Ibrahim, also known as Primeboy.
