Mohbad: Family Petitions IGP, PSC Demands Fresh Team On Death Investigation
The family of late Afropop star Mohbad has expressed disappointment and concerns over the Lagos State Police team investigating their son’s death.
In a letter written to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and Police Service Commission (PSC), signed by Taiwo Odumosu on behalf of the Aloba family, they criticized the investigators’ professionalism, diligence, and integrity.
The family demands a new team from headquarters to investigate Mohbad’s death, citing the current team’s unprofessionalism and shoddy handling of the case.
“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 also alleged that the police mishandled the crime scene, failed to respond adequately to their report, overlooked critical evidence and testimonies, and lacked forensic examination.

“The police’s apparent avoidance of investigating this critical area is concerning and suggests a serious oversight in their investigative procedure,” the letter said.
The Aloba family also raised concerns about a possible cover-up and lack of transparency in the investigation.
“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.”
