As investigations into the circumstances surrounding the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba’s death continue, his attorney, Funmi Falana, has expressed confidence that justice will be done. Aloba was known professionally as Mohbad.
The founder of Women Empowerment and Legal Aids and a human rights activist said the coroner’s inquiry would do everything in its power to determine what caused the artist’s tragic passing.
Funmi told Saturday Beats; “The sitting today was just a preliminary one to discuss the modalities and procedure, as well as how to go about it. It is just a corona’s inquest, and not a formal court hearing.
“The expectation is that justice will be served. We would get to the root of the cause of Mohbad’s death. That is the reason we are there, and we are fully confident that we would get justice.”
