Amid the controversy surrounding the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as MohBad, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says the late musician was not poisoned in its custody.

After Mohbad’s death last Tuesday in an unclear circumstance, a video emerged showing the 27-year-old artiste crying on a hospital bed. Shortly after, some Nigerians accused the agency of poisoning the singer during his purported arrest and detention.

In the video, Mohbad claimed he was forced to consume a liquid substance, abused with the butt of a gun and was later asked to go home.

But NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, said the musician was never arrested nor detained by the agency, adding that the deceased was not one of the Marlian Music acts arrested by the agency in 2022, contrary to the speculations by many, adding that this makes it impossible for Mohbad to have been poisoned in their custody.
