Owohunwa had earlier addressed a press conference where he spoke on the investigations carried out without an update on the autopsy result carried out on the deceased.

SPANCI declared that the group was not satisfied with the Lagos CP’s statement.

In a statement signed by its President, Comrade Yemi Bello, it described the CP’s statement during the press conference as decisive and diversionary.

“Lagos police CP’s press conference and statement without autopsy result not good for the cause of justice however, the group commended the IGP, who is known for credibility and professionalism, and also the effort of the Lagos state police command CP for their investigation in unravelling some mysteries relating to Mohbad’s death.

“However, we are not satisfied with the release of the Lagos CP’s press statement on Mohbad’s death without the autopsy results.

“This could raise suspicion as the issue is a global issue and our legal and justice system is on focus not only by Nigerians but also international communities; hence the Lagos CP would have waited for the autopsy results since he has gotten a court order to detain the suspects for 21 days within which we believe the autopsy results would have been released.

“This action has called for these questions which we demand answers to from the police. Is Lagos CP under any pressure or instructions to do so, and from whom is such order? Why did Lagos CP not wait for the autopsy results before making a press statement?

“Is the statement not decisive, diversionary and concluding about the cause of Mohbad’s death? What is the essence of autopsy when the police already told us how Mohbad died?

“Does the investigative power of police represent the decision of the court? Did the police investigate the allegation of Primeboy on the wife based on the principle of fair hearing and justice? The hospital said he was brought in dead. What about the man who claimed in a viral video that he saw Mohbad walk into the hospital by himself and even snapped with him but was shocked at the later occurrence?
