The auxiliary nurse, according to him, administered a combination of drugs including tetanus injection, paracetamol and tetrazone injections intravenously that resulted in the death of the musician.

“She is the principal suspect, she admitted that it was the injections she administered (Tetanous, paracetamol and tetrazone) that immediately triggered reaction, vomiting, goosebumps and convulsion that resulted in the death of Mohbad”, Owohunwa said. He explained that investigation revealed that the auxiliary nurse was trained at Coralbed Hospital Akute and that she has no job, works as a freelance nurse and administered her treatment in a non-medical environment.
