Court Rejects Fresh Investigation into Mohbad's Death
The Registered Trustees of Break the Silence Foundation sought to compel the Nigeria Police Force to reopen the investigation into the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad. However, on September 25, 2026, Justice James Omotosho dismissed the suit in Abuja, stating that the foundation lacked the legal capacity to initiate the action.
He described the application as speculative and lacking sufficient merit, particularly noting the absence of the original police investigation report, which was crucial for supporting the foundation's claims of inadequacy in the earlier probe. Justice Omotosho also cautioned lawyers involved in ongoing cases against discussing matters before the court in media interviews or on social media, warning that such actions could constitute professional misconduct.
Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27, and his death continues to attract legal and public scrutiny.
