Uncertain about his ability to treat her condition, Libagi reportedly sought assistance from Oyin Israel, an auxiliary nurse within the community. It is alleged that Israel administered an injection that resulted in Ololade's sudden death.

A police source, speaking anonymously, revealed that the fatal injection was given to Ololade shortly before she passed away. The swift sequence of events prompted the arrest of Libagi, Israel, and the motorcyclist who facilitated their travel to the patient's location.
