The Nigerian Police Force spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, has affirmed that individuals implicated in the death of Afrobeats musician Mohbad, whose real name is Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, will face legal consequences.
Muyiwa Adejobi’s statement follows growing public interest in the ongoing police investigation, despite one of the alleged suspects being abroad.
According to Adejobi, “Anyone who is indicted in this case won’t go unpunished. Whatever it is, there must be investigation concluded and report forwarded for necessary action.”
Adejobi stressed the importance of a thorough investigation as a prerequisite for justice. He urged patience and suggested that some might have hidden agendas aimed at causing unrest or stirring public discontent against the Nigerian government.
“I think we need to allow the investigation team formed by the police to carry out its investigations. There can’t be justice without investigation. Investigation encompasses so many things,” Adejobi said. “Don’t be surprised that those you don’t know or you have not mentioned might be indicted. In the security business, we say trust no one. So, let us allow the team to do its job.”
Meanwhile, Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, revealed that Mohbad’s body could be exhumed for an autopsy.
“The Force PRO issued a statement this evening (Thursday) saying that investigation would commence. And that is what we are going to do. If need be, the body would be exhumed. It’s not too late. The body can be exhumed. An autopsy can be performed.” Hundeyin made this statement during an Instagram live session with media personality Daddy Freeze, as questions arose about the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.
In an earlier statement, Adejobi had announced the police’s commitment to conducting a comprehensive investigation into the musician’s death. The police have called on family members and close associates of Mohbad with pertinent information to approach the Lagos State Commissioner of Police to aid the ongoing investigation.
Furthermore, the Nigerian police have appealed to the public not to make statements or engage in activities that could jeopardize the ongoing investigation. They value the trust and support of the people and are dedicated to ensuring justice is served in Mohbad’s untimely demise.
