“On Mohbad’s case, yes, I agree there has been a delay, and the delay is caused by the time taken for investigation,” Pedro stated.
He emphasized the importance of comprehensive investigative procedures. “Forensic analysis, toxicology, all these are part of the investigation. A full-proof investigation is essential for leading to a conviction in any case presented before the courts.”
Pedro clarified the toxicology examination’s location: “It had to be conducted in the US due to the destruction of the Lagos DNA and Forensic Centre during the #EndSARS protests of October 2020.”
