The family of the late Afropop artist Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad, has voiced their worries and dissatisfaction regarding how the Lagos State Police are managing the investigation into his death.
In a letter from Taiwo Odumosu representing the family, they mentioned, “The manner in which the case has been managed raises serious questions about the officers’ professionalism, diligence, and integrity.”
The family called for the current investigators to be disbanded and for a specialized team from headquarters to take over the case of their son’s death.
“We request that the current team handling the investigation in Lagos be overhauled due to their unprofessional and shoddy handling of the case,” the letter stated.
The family claimed that the police did not handle the crime scene properly, did not respond well to their report, missed important evidence and witness statements, and did not conduct a forensic investigation.
“The police’s apparent avoidance of investigating this critical area is concerning and suggests a serious oversight in their investigative procedure,” the letter said.
“It is imperative to question who the officers might be protecting, on whose instruction, and why such a high-profile case is being handled with such apparent disregard for standard investigative procedures,” the letter stated.
The family concluded by saying, “While we rely on the almighty God and your good selves to get to the root of this case, one thing is certain: If it takes ten years, the killers of our son will be brought to justice, and history will not be kind to every single soul that covers up the iniquity and inhumanity of man to such a promising youngster.”
The Aloba family highlighted their fears about a potential cover-up and the investigation not being transparent.
