He said the autopsy report is now with the Lagos state pathologist, as well as the coroner magistrate.

Pedro made the revelation on Monday, at a press conference, held at the Ministry of Justice Conference Room, Alausa, Ikeja.

He said:

“On the Mohbad case, yes, I agree there has been a delay, and the delay is caused by time taken for investigation.

“Forensic, analysis, toxicology, all these are part of the investigation. Full proof investigation that can lead at least to conviction in a case that is presented before the courts.”

The Attorney General explained that the forensic examination would not have been done in the United States if the Lagos DNA and Forensic Centre had not been burnt during the #EndSARS protest of October 2020.

Channels TV and The Punch confirmed the development in their publication on Tuesday, October 22.
