Oyo State Speaker of the House of Assembly, Honourable Adebo Ogundoyin, on Wednesday, joined hundreds of youths who stormed the State Secretariat in ibadan demanding justice following the death of young Nigerian artiste, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly referred to as Mohbad.
Before arriving at the state Secretariat, the youths, dressed in black T- shirts , bearing placards with inscriptions like #JusticeforMohbad had marched following Mokola, Sango, Trans Amusement Park and Bodija.
The youths consistently chanted different solidarity songs calling on government security agencies to apprehend and prosecute those responsible for what they explained as the premature exit of Mohbad.
While addressing the youths during the protest, the Speaker said he was a fan of Mohbad’s inspirational songs, stating that he joins in the calls for justice over the demise of Mohbad.
The Speaker was in company of the State Commissioner For Youth and Sports, Miss Adegoke Wasilat.
Ogundoyin stated, “It is unfortunate that Ilerioluwa Imole died in mysterious circumstances. The investigation team set up by the Nigeria Police Force must be thorough in their job. Everyone connected with the young man’s death must be questioned and investigated, and the cause of his death must be unravelled. Why did the Police fail to investigate a petition he sent them on constant threats to his life?
“There are video clips showing Mohbad being beaten and bullied yet no one was arrested at that time and no one was prosecuted. He also did some audio recordings of his depressing situation and condition but nothing was done by the security agencies to secure the life of the promising singer. This is rather pathetic, pitiful and condemnable.”
