Mohbad: Protesters Storm Nigeria High Commission In London, Demand Thorough Probe
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Nigerians in London staged a protest at the Nigeria House on Monday, seeking justice for the late musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
The demonstrators, carrying various placards and banners, demanded a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
According to PUNCH, they also urged the authorities to investigate those who were with him at the time of his passing.
The protesters expressed discontent with the delayed and inconclusive autopsy results.
Mohbad, a 27-year-old artist formerly signed to Naira Marley’s record label, Marlian Music, died on September 12, sparking widespread controversy and outrage on social media.
In response to Mohbad’s death, the Lagos State Police Command established a 13-member special investigation team on September 18, 2023, to investigate the circumstances surrounding his demise.
The incident led to the arrest of several individuals, including Naira Marley and Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry. As part of the investigation, Mohbad’s body was exhumed on September 21, 2023, for an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, announced in September 2023 that the autopsy had been completed and the police were awaiting the results.
In April, it was reported that the toxicology test to determine the cause of Mohbad’s death had been completed, and the result was sent to the pathologist for analysis and interpretation.
However, the US-based laboratory refuted the claim by the Lagos State Government that the test was conducted at their facility, sparking confusion.
This revelation came after a fact-finding mission was conducted to determine the musician’s cause of death. Previously, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, had stated that the toxicology test was being conducted at NMS Labs in Pennsylvania, USA.
Later, a pathologist testified in the Coroner’s Court on May 15 that the autopsy was unable to determine Mohbad’s cause of death due to the decomposition of his body.
