In the coroner’s inquest regarding the death of singer Mohbad, the nurse responsible for administering injections to him prior to his demise recounted the circumstances of his last hours. She disclosed that on September 11, 2023, while she was in Cotonou handling her admission, she received a missed call from Mohbad’s friend, Spending.
I returned his call, and he requested that I come to attend to his friend who had sustained a cut. I informed him that I had just come back from Cotonou. Subsequently, I missed several of his calls. Upon my arrival at CMS, DJ Bami contacted me, indicating he was with Spending.
Although I was unable to visit the house that day, I managed to get there the following day around 2:30 p.m. Upon my arrival, DJ Bami escorted me upstairs, where I noticed water on the floor, which he promptly cleaned before relocating Mohbad to a different room. The group upstairs consisted solely of myself, Mohbad, DJ Bami, and Wunmi.
While administering treatment, I explained the procedures I was undertaking. As I prepared the first injection, Mohbad inquired about the medication I was administering, to which I responded that it included a Tetanus injection, a Paracetamol injection, and antibiotics. I began with the Tetanus and Paracetamol injections, and after the Paracetamol was given, Wunmi pointed out that Mohbad had an ulcer.
She proceeded to explain, “Upon administering the third injection, he began to react, expressing a desire to vomit. DJ Bami and Wunmi assisted him to the bathroom, where he subsequently vomited. Following this episode, he collapsed onto the floor, appearing weak and covered in goosebumps. Wunmi informed me that this was his typical response to injections. I remarked that she should have notified me sooner.
She then suggested that pouring water on his head would help soothe him, which she proceeded to do.” In light of the situation, she and DJ Bami hurried to a pharmacy in search of an antidote. “We arrived at the first pharmacy, but they did not have the necessary medication, so we proceeded to another location.
While we were there, we received a call from the house informing us that Mohbad was convulsing. I instructed them to take him to the hospital immediately.” By the time she returned, Mohbad was already being carried out of the house.
They transported him as one would carry an infant and placed him in a neighbor’s vehicle. Wunmi and I occupied the front seats, while several unfamiliar individuals were seated in the back with Mohbad. During our journey, we encountered severe traffic congestion, necessitating a transfer to a motorcycle. I implored the drivers to clear a path to allow the bike to proceed.
Upon reaching the hospital, she recounted that the doctor inquired about her administration of Diclofenac. She responded in the negative, explaining the medication she had provided, after which the doctor informed them that Mohbad had succumbed. She further described how another medical facility verified his death before they returned his body home.
“When we arrived back at the house, the doors were locked, and entry was restricted. A large crowd had assembled outside. From the moment I got to the house until my departure, I did not see Baba Mohbad.” In response to questions regarding her qualifications, she acknowledged,
I previously believed I was a qualified auxiliary nurse until the case involving Mohbad emerged, at which point it was suggested that I was not. I possess an O-level qualification and completed my training at a hospital from 2014 to 2017. Additionally, I questioned the rationale behind my involvement in this situation.
“The dosage I administered to Mohbad was appropriate for someone with a laceration. The lower part of his hand was swollen, so I provided the tetanus injection in the upper hand. Prior to my arrival at the residence, I requested DJ Bami to send me a photograph of the injury. I received it just five minutes before I arrived. Had I seen it sooner, I would have advised them to take him to a pharmacy instead of coming to me.”
Regarding Spending’s involvement, she explained, “I became acquainted with Spending through a referral, and he had previously directed several individuals to me before the Mohbad incident. Spending was not present at the house during the events in question. I am uncertain why they chose to wait for my return from Cotonou. Approximately 22 hours elapsed from the initial call until my arrival. The time between when I treated Mohbad and when I was informed of his death was merely two hours.”
She also noted what she was told about the cause of the injury.
“I asked DJ Bami about the cut before I started treatment, and he said it was a glass cut. He told me they had removed the glass from his hand the previous day.”

Rwanda vs Nigeria: Chelle reignites the Super Eagles’ aspirations for the 2026 World Cup in Kigali.
On Friday, Eric Chelle became the inaugural non-Nigerian African coach to take the helm of the Super Eagles. The Malian coach directed his first match, resulting in a 2-0 win against Rwanda during a qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup. Chelle's appointment by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) took place on January 7, as he replaced Finidi George and succeeded interim coach Augustine Eguavoen. Since that time, he has dedicated three months to traveling across Nigeria, observing domestic league matches, and engaging with his players based in Europe. However, his initial team selection remained perplexing. Chelle opted for a highly offensive formation in Kigali, which appeared unbalanced on paper. Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze, Ademola Lookman, and Moses Simon were all included in the attacking lineup, while Alex Iwobi and Wilfred Ndidi occupied the midfield positions. "I had mixed feelings. […]

Three brothers. One promised to serve. One became president
Three brothers. One promised to serve. One became president. One walked among the broken.All three were killed before their work was finished. Their legacy refuses to die.With quiet reverence, we remember John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.—three brothers bound not only by blood, but by an uncommon sense of duty to something greater than themselves.Their lives were marked by triumph and tragedy, by hope and violence. Yet what defines them isn't how they died, but how bravely and compassionately they lived—and how much they sacrificed believing America could be better than it was.Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. was the eldest—handsome, brilliant, charismatic. The one their father groomed for greatness, the one expected to become president someday.He carried ambition not as ego but as responsibility. A Harvard graduate, a law student, he seemed destined for politics. But […]
