Police begin full investigation into Mobad’s death controversies
SHARE

The Nigerian police force has announced plans to begin a full-scale investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba aka Mohbad.

The News.ng had reported Mohbad’s demise on Tuesday. The 27-year-old was rumoured to have passed after taking an injection from an ear infection. 

Consequently, Many Nigerians have demanded the police to carry out an investigation into the controversies surrounding the musician’s death.

In reaction, the Lagos State Command Commissioner of Police, CP Idowu Owohunwa, ordered the start of a thorough criminal inquiry into the case in a statement on Saturday.

A Special Investigation Unit has been established inside the Murder Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) to coordinate the inquiry, according to Benjamin Hudenyin, the spokesperson for the Lagos state police, who signed the statement and published it on his Social platform.

He claims that the group of skilled homicide investigators has been assigned with compiling all allegations, suspicions, and insinuations regarding the singer’s death from numerous sources.

The track team, he continued, will conduct an inquiry in a quick, professional manner with the goal of establishing facts and dispelling any remaining questions about the death of the musician.

His words:

“Consequent upon the growing public concerns and the preliminary police review of the general circumstances surrounding the death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba aka Mohbad, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Idowu Owohunwa, has directed the commencement of full-scale criminal investigation into the case.

“To this end, the Commissioner of Police has constituted a Special Investigation Team within the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) to coordinate the investigation. 

“The team, which comprises seasoned homicide detectives, has been tasked to aggregate all allegations, suspicions and insinuations from various sources on the death of the singer and undertake a professional, diligent and timely investigation with a view to establishing facts, clearing all doubts and ensuring that justice is manifestly served through a meticulous process that will deploy all requisite protocols (which may include exhumation),  as well as technical and scientific tools that are vital to the detailed investigation of homicide allegations of this nature.

Mr Hudenyin gave the public the reassurance that the Lagos State Government had promised to give the Special Investigation Team all the support necessary to ensure a thorough investigation.


The state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, reportedly gave his assurance after consulting with the state commissioner of police about the best ways to guarantee that the case would be swiftly investigated and justice would be served.

The police officer also pleaded with the family, friends, coworkers, or anyone else who might have information that could help the investigation to kindly contact the State Criminal Investigation Department’s Homicide Section so that it can conduct its investigations.

“In aid of this initiative, the Lagos State Government has pledged its total support to the Special Investigation Team in all ways required to guarantee a diligent investigative exercise. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu gave this assurance while consulting with the State Commissioner of Police earlier today on how best to ensure that the case is expeditiously investigated and justice delivered promptly.

“Meanwhile, an appeal is hereby made to the deceased’s family, friends, business associates or anyone with useful information that could aid the investigation to kindly share same with the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department on 08036885727 and to optimally support the Police in the drive for a conclusive investigation of the case.

“The Lagos State Police Command assures that progress of the investigation will, as much as legally and professionally permissible, be shared with the general public accordingly.
