Court to Rule on Mohbad Investigation Suit September 29
The Federal High Court in Abuja is set to deliver a judgment on September 29 concerning a suit filed by the Registered Trustees of the Break the Silence Foundation, which seeks to compel the Nigeria Police Force to reopen investigations into the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad. Justice James Omotosho fixed the date after hearing arguments in the case marked FHC/ABJ/CS/363/2026, which is against the Inspector-General of Police and the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command.
The foundation argues that the previous investigation did not adequately address critical issues surrounding Mohbad's death, which occurred on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27. The court also dismissed an application by Samson Obaboye to join the case as an interested party.
The upcoming judgment will determine whether the police can be compelled to conduct a fresh investigation, reviving the #JusticeForMohbad campaign among supporters.
