“She is the Principal Suspect in the death of Mohbad.

“She acknowledged that it was the injections that she administered on the deceased that triggered the reactions which eventually led to Mohbad’s death. Other expert opinions and witness statements corroborated her admittance.

“Her actions of administering doses of Tetanus Toxoid, Paracetamol (IV) and Ceftriaxone injection (IV) on Mohbad at his residence on 12th September, 2023 immediately and directly triggered the reactions (including vomiting, goosebumps, convulsion) that eventually resulted in the singer’s death.

“This criminal liability is further heightened given the evidential fact that as an auxiliary nurse, she is not qualified to administer such medications or function as a qualified nurse. She also did this in a non-clinical environment and in a professionally negligent manner that negated standard medical protocols.

“As of today, a total of 26 witnesses have been interviewed,” the CP said.

According to him, those interrogated included Mohbad’s father, mother, sisters, brother, wife and manager among several others.

The CP also disclosed that Mohbad was brought in dead to the hospital, and he was certified dead by doctors on duty on September 12.
