[Joseph Aloba], the father of the late [Mohbad], an Afrobeat singer, expressed his dissatisfaction with the police investigations.
In an exclusive interview with Trust TV on Wednesday, [Joseph] made this claim and urged the government to step up its investigation to see justice done.
On September 12, 2023, [Mohbad] passed away. The next day, he was buried. Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, the proprietor of Marlian Records, his previous record label, and a few other people, including Sam Larry, were accused of being involved in his demise.
However, the head of Marlian Records cleared himself of any misconduct in a statement posted on his Instagram account. Sam Larry denied any involvement as well.
Speaking to Trust TV on Wednesday, [Mohbad’s father] expressed dissatisfaction over the police investigation.
“I am not satisfied with the police investigation. A lot of things have been said outside which are not right. When I carried [Mohbad’s] body to the police station, I expected that they would follow me to search his house or give me the police (autopsy) report which they had not given me. Those are the areas I am not satisfied with,” he said.
The father stated that he wanted the investigation to be thorough, urging the police to invite people who were living with [Mohbad].
“They should ask them questions. Through searching their phones, they would know what killed [Mohbad]. A lot of people were living with him. So I am not satisfied with the investigation.
“We are still looking for justice….Delay can result in denial. I am begging the government to put more effort so that things can go on fine as people expect,” he added.
