We want to undertake a fair and open investigation, and we don’t want to isolate specific characters. All facts, including videos, personalities that have been mentioned, those not even mentioned but we do know from our homicide investigation experience, could be vital to getting to the root of this.

I don’t want to reduce it to specific names at this moment. Let’s proceed with the investigation. And as we have need to identify individuals which could be wider, we will pick on whoever we believe from investigation is linked and we’ll bring such a person within the dictates of the law to come and clarify their level of involvement’ he said.

Mohbad’s death had sparked a controversy with some people accused of being responsible for his death.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that a human rights lawyer, Festus Ogun, has also requested a Coroner’s Inquest to investigate and determine the cause of the death of Mohbad.

In a letter  sent to the Attorney-General of Lagos, Festus  said he had done this in accordance with  Coroner’s Systems Law of Lagos state

‘In line with Sections 14 and 15 of the Coroner’s Systems Law of Lagos state, we hereby request for a Coroner’s Inquest to investigate and determine the cause and circumstances of Mohbad’s death.

Importantly, we humbly request that you exercise the power under Section 17 of the Coroner’s System Law to order exhumation of his body for the Chief Medical Examiner to anatomically determine the cause of his death.

Upon conclusion of the Coroner’s inquest, we are hopeful that the findings of the investigation will be made public and those found wanting would be sanctioned by the appropriate authorities’ he wrote.

Popular hip hop act,  Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley had  issued a statement to offer condolences to  family members and fans of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba ‘Mohbad’, who died last week Tuesday.

 Naira Marley, who did this via an  Instagram post on Friday night, had noted that the Martian Music  was saddened that Mohbad didn’t get a befitting burial.

‘Mohbad is an incredible street pop star who contributed to the foundation of the Martian Music. Despite his departure last year we continually championed his talent.

No family is perfect, families have disagreements but no harm whatsoever was wished on Mohbad. So many things left unsaid but the love was always there. This tragedy is not only a loss for us but to everyone you touched musically around the world.

As we share our condolences to the late Mohbad, we would like to echo a call for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

We’re unhappy and unsettled with everything we have witnessed since Tuesday, the 12th Sept. We owe it to Mohbad to assist with uncovering any foul play or injustice.

Our brother deserved a better send off, it saddens us that we couldn’t assist with providing a befitting burial. We will continue our efforts to reach out to the family’ he submitted.

MohBad , who  had left the Martian Music  in 2022,  died  on Tuesday, September 12 at the age of 27 and he had since been in Ikorodu, Lagos-Team@orientactualmags.com
