Mohbad's Family Secures New Investigation into Death
The family of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad, has achieved a significant development in their pursuit of clarity regarding his death. Oladayo Ogungbe, the family’s lawyer, announced on September 29, 2026, that the Inspector-General of Police had approved their request for a fresh investigation.
The family submitted their petition on April 14, and it was received at the Force Headquarters on May 7. The petition raised concerns about issues identified in the earlier investigation and called for a thorough re-examination of the circumstances surrounding Mohbad's death.
Following this request, the IGP directed that the matter be sent to the Police Command for further action. The family was subsequently informed that the case had been assigned to officers of the Special Enquiry Bureau.
A representative from the Aloba family has already been invited by the new investigative team to discuss the case. Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27, leaving many questions unanswered.
