IGP Olatunji Disu Initiates New Probe into Mohbad's Death
The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has authorized a new investigation into the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad, at the request of his family. The family, represented by lawyer Oladayo Ogungbe, submitted a petition on April 14, 2026, which was received at the Force Headquarters in Abuja on May 7.
The petition raised concerns regarding the previous investigation and called for a fresh examination of the circumstances surrounding Mohbad's death, which occurred on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27. Following the approval of the request, the Inspector-General directed that the matter be forwarded to the Lagos State Police Command for further action.
The family has been informed that the case has been assigned to officers of the Special Enquiry Bureau, who have begun their investigation, with a representative of the Aloba family already engaging with the new investigative team.
