His testimony came after he was cross-examined by the defence counsel in the inquest. The death of the singer had sparked public outcry and led to a coroner’s inquest, which is taking place at the Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court
“We expected to get the first set of autopsy results in three to four weeks and re-confirm to authenticate the cause of the death.
“We searched for multiple possibilities, to check if poison was involved in the death of Mohbad since no actual cause was mentioned.”
“We have a place where items are stored for safety and security of results. There is a procedure for monitoring samples moved abroad,” he said.
The Coroner adjourned the case to 15 April and directed all parties in the inquest to be present on that day.
