The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), Lagos State Council, has confirmed that the suspect arrested for injecting Mohbad is not a registered nurse.

The association released a statement on Saturday, September 23, 2023, in which it said that the suspect is not a member of the NANNM and is not licensed to practice nursing in Nigeria.

The statement also said that the association is “deeply saddened” by Mohbad’s death and has called on the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the case.

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

“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 Nurse.

“We emphasise the critical need to verify the qualifications and professional status of individuals before labelling them as healthcare professionals.

“In Nigeria, to be recognised 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.

“We wish to clarify that the term ‘Auxiliary Nurse’ has no place within Nigeria’s healthcare system or its laws. An 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”, the statement further said.

This is one more reason you should please wait for the police to release outcome of the autopsy.

For now, it's reasonable to presume that those you are pointing accusing finger at may be innocent.

This is one angle that you may be missing so wait before you do irreparable damage to an innocent person who can turn around to sue you, claim damages against you and demand your committal to prison for your lies, recklessness, cyberbullying and criminal defamation .

I learnt that the auxiliary nurses are trained at private clinics so if she is being detained and prosecuted then whoever trained her should be arrested too to serve as deterrent.

The question is who send am

Let it not be that una dey play the naira Marley script where he has already asked focus to shift to the nurse.

How many nurses are really certified by association before people invite them to run personal treatment

Malroux:
I know they will definitely deny her. Same way the medical association denied Noah Kekere that steals human vital organs.
