Group calls for new investigation into Mohbad’s death
A civic group, Lagosians For Truth and Justice, has criticized the police for their handling of singer Mohbad’s death case, two years after his passing. In a statement on June 5, 2025, the group highlighted multiple inconsistencies and a lack of transparency in the investigation. They insist that only a fresh, independent probe can restore public confidence. The group also questioned the Lagos State Government’s role in the ongoing controversy.
What happened
- Lagosians For Truth and Justice claims the police failed to properly investigate Mohbad’s death, despite treating it as a homicide since October 7, 2023.
- The group says key witnesses, including Mohbad’s partner, were not interrogated or arrested, and the crime scene was not sealed.
- There are unresolved contradictions in the toxicology test, with NMS Pennsylvania denying ever receiving samples from Mohbad.
- Discrepancies in witness timelines and statements have raised suspicions of a possible conspiracy.
- The group demands a new, independent investigation, full forensic analysis, and no interference from the state government.
