IGP Olatunji Disu Approves New Probe into Mohbad's Death
The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has approved a petition from the family of the late singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad, for a new investigation into the circumstances of his death. This petition was submitted on April 14, 2026, and received by the Force Headquarters in Abuja on May 7.
The family, represented by lawyer Oladayo Ogungbe, expressed concerns about inconsistencies in the previous investigation and requested a comprehensive forensic reconstruction. Following the approval, the petition was forwarded to the Lagos State Police Command and assigned to the Special Enquiry Bureau.
The family has been actively engaging with the new investigative team. This development comes after the Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed Suit No.
FHC/ABJ/CS/363/2026 on September 25, 2026, which the Aloba family clarified was separate from their petition to the police. The family emphasized their commitment to cooperating with investigators and urged for a diligent and professional investigation into Mohbad's death.
