Nigeria: Mohbad - Family's Lawyer Says IGP Ordered Fresh Probe Into Singer's Death
The family said the new probe follows its petition and is separate from a dismissed court case, with investigators now reviewing the singer’s death.
- On Thursday, lawyer Oladayo Ogungbe disclosed that Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu authorized a fresh investigation into the death of singer Ilerioluwa 'Mohbad' Aloba following a formal petition submitted to Force Headquarters.
- Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, at 27, leaving unresolved disputes over his son Liam's paternity and property management that have stalled his final burial pending answers about his death.
- Ogungbe clarified the family's police process is separate from a recent Federal High Court ruling dismissing an NGO's suit, noting, "The Aloba family does not wish the public to conflate the dismissal of that suit with the separate investigative process."
- The family's petition, submitted April 14 and received May 7, was assigned to the Special Enquiry Bureau for further investigation, with representatives now engaging with the new investigative team.
- Seeking a transparent process, the Aloba family remains fully engaged with the investigation; "The pursuit of justice for Mohbad continues," the family stated, emphasizing commitment to establishing the truth.
