Reacting to the controversy in a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday, the police committed to a “comprehensive investigation” to unravel the circumstances surrounding the tragic demise of the singer.
The force said the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, has been tasked to investigate the matter, while urging family members or close associates with valuable information to approach the commissioner.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and fans of late Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad, who tragically passed away recently. We understand the concerns surrounding his untimely demise and the various speculations that have arisen,” the statement reads.
“The Nigeria Police Force is committed to a comprehensive investigation into this matter, as the Lagos State Commissioner of Police has been tasked to unravel the circumstances surrounding his death. Rest assured, updates will be provided as investigations unfold.
“We encourage family members or close associates with valuable information to approach the Lagos State Commissioner of Police to assist in this process.
“In the meantime, we kindly request that individuals refrain from making statements or engaging in activities that could jeopardize the ongoing investigation.
“Your trust and support are deeply valued.”
The police statement comes amid social media outcry over MohBad’s passing.
Before his death, he was a former artiste of Marlian Records, which is owned by Naira Marley.
In October 2022, the late singer alleged assault by the record label’s head honcho known as Sam Larry.
MohBad also claimed members of Marley’s music label assaulted him for requesting a new manager, alleging that they were after his life.
After his demise, a clip emerged of Sam Larry, an ally of Marley, trying to assault him at a video shoot, as late as June 2023.
