Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba popularly known as Mohbad, has expressed his displeasure over police investigation to unravel the cause of the death of the singer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall that Mohbad, a former signee of Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, died on September 12, 2023, at the age of 28 in Lagos State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lagos State Police Command had on September 18, 2023, inaugurated a 13-man special investigation team to probe the mysterious death of Mohbad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo not forget, we have unique access with INTERPOL. Everybody linked to it (the death of Mohbad) will be identified and they will be brought to establish their level of involvement,\u201d former Lagos Police Commissioner, Idowu Owohunwa, had said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The death of Mohbad also led to the arrest of Naira Marley, and controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, aka Sam Larry, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body of Mohbad was on September 21, 2023, exhumed for autopsy to unravel the cause of his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, had tweeted in September 2023 that an \u201cautopsy has been concluded\u201d and the police were \u201cawaiting result.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Aloba, on Wednesday (today), while speaking on Trust TV disclosed that \u201ca lot of things have been said outside which are not really right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that his expectation was that after he carried Mohbad\u2019s body to the police station, he would be followed to search Mohbad\u2019s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further lamented that he had not been given the autopsy report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u201cI am not satisfied with police investigation. When I carried Mohbad\u2019s body to the police station, my expectation is that they would follow me to search his house or give me the police (autopsy) report which they have not given me. Those are the areas I am not satisfied with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey should ask them questions. Through searching their phones, they would know what killed Mohbad. A lot of people were living with him. So I am not really satisfied with the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are still looking for justice\u2026.Delay can result in denial. I am begging the government to put more effort so that things can go on fine as people expect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November 2023, when asked by our correspondent about the release of Mohbad\u2019s autopsy report, Hundeyin disclosed that the command had yet to get the report officially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hundeyin said, \u201cThe autopsy report has not been given to us. Some people have been carrying rumours that it\u2019s ready. It\u2019s one thing for it to be ready, it\u2019s another thing for it to be given to us officially \u2013 that we would receive and sign a copy that we have received it. So, we don\u2019t work with rumours, we work with facts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aloba, in November 2023, had stated that nobody should collect his son\u2019s body for burial without his authorisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made this known in a video shared on TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen this boy was alive, he was alive. When he (left), he still retained my name. Nobody should go there and take his body, please,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The singer\u2019s father added, \u201cIf they want to do anything there, I\u2019ll be the one to authorise them. Nobody should go and carry MohBad\u2019s body from there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hundeyin, in an interview in December 2023 reiterated that the command had not received the report of the autopsy conducted on Mohbad from the pathologists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u201cWe\u2019re not the pathologists who carried out the autopsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen they (the pathologists) give us their report, we\u2019ll conclude our investigation. For now, that\u2019s what we\u2019re waiting for. Except they want us to do guesswork, we can\u2019t guess; we need to get the report and see the content of the result and we don\u2019t have it yet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
