She revealed that her husband sustained a cut during a fight with Prime Boy and she didn’t know about it until she saw blood stain on the bed sheet on Monday, September 11.

She further disclosed that the nurse who was supposed treat Mohbad wasn’t around so they resorted to first aid and Panadol.

On Tuesday, September 12, her husband’s friend, ‘Spending’, reached out to another nurse, who gave the singer some injections on the left arm.

Cynthia who revealed that she did not ask the type of injection he was given because she was in the kitchen cooking, said she only saw the nurse trying to put another injection in the veins of his hand. However, Mohbad told her to be careful because he was an ulcer patient.

When cross-examined by Olumayowa Ogunsami, counsel to the father of the deceased, she said her late husband stopped being friends with a certain Micheal a.k.a Mice when he found out he was an informant for Naira Marley.
