Mohbad's father expresses dissatisfaction with the police investigation.

 

Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Afrobeat singer, Mohbad, expresses dissatisfaction with the police investigation into the circumstances surrounding his son's death. In an interview with Trust TV, Joseph reveals his concerns about the ongoing investigation, stating, "I am not satisfied with the police investigation. A lot of things have been said outside which are not really right."


One particular area of dissatisfaction for Joseph is the lack of follow-up by the police after he carried Mohbad's body to the station. He expected them to search his son's house or provide the police autopsy report, which hasn't been provided. Joseph emphasizes the need for a thorough investigation, urging the police to question people who were living with Mohbad and explore their phones for relevant information about the incident.


Expressing his concerns, Joseph emphasizes the quest for justice and the importance of expediting the investigation. He appeals to the government to put more effort into ensuring a transparent and satisfactory resolution to the case.


Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, and was buried the next day. The aftermath saw Naira Marley, the pioneer of Marlian Records, and Sam Larry facing police questioning. Both were arrested, arraigned, and released on bail, while a nurse who administered injections to Mohbad became a prime suspect.


Responding to public outcry, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, ordered a forensic investigation into the singer's death. The Lagos State Police Command formed a 10-man team, including a pathologist, to exhume Mohbad's corpse and conduct a comprehensive investigation. The Lagos Coroner Court confirmed that the external body autopsy was completed, but the toxicology test, vital for determining the cause of death, is being conducted in the United States.


Despite expectations, the autopsy report has not been made available to the police. As calls for transparency persist, the police spokesman in Lagos, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, has not provided an update on the investigation. The grieving father, Joseph Aloba, continues to seek justice and a clearer resolution surrounding the circumstances of Mohbad's untimely death.
