The family of the late Afropop musician Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad, has expressed deep disappointment and concern over the Lagos State Police’s handling of the investigation into his death. In a letter signed by Taiwo Odumosu on behalf of the Aloba family, they criticized the professionalism and integrity of the officers involved and called for a new investigative team to be assigned to the case.
Concerns Over Investigation: The Aloba family’s letter highlighted significant dissatisfaction with how the investigation into Mohbad’s death has been managed. They pointed to what they described as “unprofessional and shoddy handling” by the current team, leading them to demand the disbandment of the investigators and the deployment of a specialized team from police headquarters to take over the case.
Specific Allegations: The family accused the police of mishandling the crime scene, failing to respond adequately to their reports, overlooking critical evidence, and neglecting to conduct a proper forensic examination. These alleged oversights have fueled their concerns about the integrity of the investigation.
Suspicions of a Cover-Up: The letter further raised suspicions of a possible cover-up, questioning whether the officers involved might be protecting certain individuals or acting under instructions to obscure the truth. The family expressed alarm at what they perceive as a lack of transparency and diligence in the handling of such a high-profile case.
Family’s Determination for Justice: Despite their frustrations with the ongoing investigation, the Aloba family emphasized their resolve to pursue justice for Mohbad. They made it clear that they will continue to seek the truth, regardless of how long it takes, and warned that history will judge anyone involved in covering up the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.
The family’s statement concludes with a strong message of reliance on both divine justice and the authorities to bring those responsible for Mohbad’s death to account. They remain steadfast in their demand for a thorough and transparent investigation.
The Aloba family’s public outcry over the handling of the investigation into Mohbad’s death adds a new layer of urgency to the case. As they call for a fresh investigative team, their concerns highlight broader issues of trust and accountability within the law enforcement process
