“A Closer Look: Shokunle’s crucial testimony at the Ikorodu coroner’s inquest into the musician’s death”
The news was recently marked by the tragic death of the young musician Shokunle, whose lifeless body was found on September 12, 2023 in Lagos, at the age of 27. This disappearance raised many questions and led the Lagos State government to order the opening of a judicial investigation to shed light on the circumstances surrounding his death. This is how the coroner’s hearing at the Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court began on October 13, 2023.
During his crucial testimony before Coroner Adedayo Shotobi, Shokunle highlighted the challenges faced during the autopsy of the singer’s body. Indeed, he revealed that the advanced state of decomposition of the body made it difficult to clearly establish the cause of death. Despite the efforts made, the autopsy proved inconclusive, leaving many questions unanswered as to the exact circumstances of the young star’s death.
Shokunle said the post-mortem was carried out at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, with photographs taken for documentary purposes. However, the lack of embalming of the body and the already advanced decomposition made the investigations more complex. Additionally, he formally denied rumors that the singer’s neck was twisted and bleeding after his death. The truth seems to be met with sensationalist and unfounded speculation.
Another key witness, Owofeni Ibrahim, a childhood friend of the deceased, described the singer as calm, intelligent and hardworking. This testimony sheds human light on Shokunle’s personality, highlighting his character and his determination.
The case in question continues to reveal disturbing and mysterious elements, still leaving many gray areas to be clarified. The investigation will have to shed light on this tragedy and do justice to the memory of the late musician.
In conclusion, the Shokunle case demonstrates the crucial importance of judicial investigations in clarifying the circumstances surrounding suspicious deaths. The truth is essential to bring answers and justice to the families and loved ones of the deceased. Let us await the continuation of the investigations with vigilance and hope.”
