The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) has reacted to the death of talented singer, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

KanyiDaily recalls that Mohbad died at the age of 27 under controversial circumstances on September 12, and was buried the following day in Lagos.

Mohbad’s father, James Aloba had expressed suspicions about the nurse who administered the injection to his son, suggesting that it may have complicated his health.

It was gatthered investigators established that Mohbad was beaten by the same people who always threatened and harrassed him, after a show he had in Ikorodu.

The singer reportedly sustained injuries from the beating, prompting him to seek the services of a nurse at his home. Subsequently, he began experiencing convulsions after receiving injections, one of which was reported to be an anti-tetanus shot.

Reacting to these events, NANNM expressed its condolences to the late musician’s family and associates, offering thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

In a statement on Friday released by the office ‘Of Toba Odumosu, State Secretary NANNM Lagos State Council, the association said the nurse in question is not a registered health practitioner and has been referred to as a “quack.”

The organization emphasized its support for the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death, urging the authorities to ensure justice is served.

The statement reads: “The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), Lagos State Council, expresses its deepest condolences to the family and associates of the late musician, llerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as we mourn his tragic passing.

“We fully support the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death and urge the relevant authorities to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice for him.

“However, we must stress the importance of professionalism in reporting and conducting this investigation.

“NANNM is closely monitoring the situation with keen interest. Our preliminary investigations indicate that the individual reportedly taken into custody by the police for providing care to Mohbad is not a registered NurseWe emphasize the critical need to verify the qualifications and professional status of individuals before labelling them as healthcare professionals.

“It is regrettable that Nigeria’s healthcare system faces significant regulatory challenges, leading to the presence of unqualified individuals performing medical roles they are not trained forIn Nigeria, to be recognized as a Nurse, one must complete a rigorous five-year Bachelor of Nursing Science program at a university, followed by an additional year of internship.

“Alternatively, one can undergo training at an accredited School/College of Nursing and become registered and licensed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN).

“We wish to clarify that the term ‘Auxiliary Nursehas no place within Nigeria’s healthcare system or its lawsAn individual is either a qualified Nurse or an unqualified individual performing tasks beyond their competence.

“Furthermore, we call on the investigating authorities and the media to exercise caution and accuracy in their reporting during this investigation.

“We will not tolerate any misrepresentation of Nurses and the Nursing profession. We demand that all media outlets that inaccurately reported the arrest of a Nurse take immediate corrective action to rectify their stories

“Once again, we extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and fans of Mohbad. We pray for the strength to endure this irreplaceable loss.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Lagos State Police Command has arrested the nurse who administered medical treatment to Mohbad before his untimely death.
