The Lagos State government has announced that the toxicologist report on the late musician Mohbad, which was done in the United States, has been released.
Lawal Pedro SAN, the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice made the announcement on Monday, October 21, 2024, while fielding journalists’ questions during a news conference held at the Ministry of Justice Conference Room in Ikeja to honor his first year in office.
While outlining the government’s plan to begin a trial to determine who was responsible for Mohbad’s murder, Pedro blamed the case’s delay on a lengthy investigation.
He said, “On Mohbad case, I agree there has been a delay, and the delay is caused by time taken for investigation
“Forensic analysis and toxicology, are all part of the investigation. Full-proof investigation that can lead at least to conviction in a case that is presented before the courts.
“The reports have been received from the United States. The autopsy is now with the Lagos State Pathologist and the Coroner magistrate.
“The delay is now with Mohbad’s family who have indicated that they would like to conduct their independent autopsy but despite this, the trial will soon commence and the court will do justice in the matter,” the AG said.
