The Lagos State Police Command has revealed the circumstances that led to the death of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad.

The Lagos state commissioner of police, Idowu Owohunwa made this revelation on Friday while addressing the media on the investigations of the late singer’s death.

A statement was issued by the Lagos State Police Command with the topic: “You would recall that the unfortunate death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (a.ka. Mohbad) on 12th September, 2023 triggered widely-held suspicions on the circumstances of his death and allegations of complicity of some personalities in the process.

“In consequence, I inaugurated a Special Investigation Team with the main task of undertaking a detailed, professional, fair, transparent, rule of law-guided, and evidence-led homicide investigation. The end goal of this initiative is not only to unravel the circumstances of the singer’s death, but to deliver justice for ‘Mohbad’.


“I had while inaugurating the Special Investigation Team projected a 2-week timeline for the perfection of the Police Interim Investigation Report with the assurance that members of the public will be kept abreast of investigative progress as much as legally and professionally permissible. I can, today, confirm that the Police Interim Investigation Report is now ready and this media briefing is being undertaken in fulfillment of our assurance to keep Lagosians, Nigerians, and indeed, the international community abreast of the status of the case.


“This briefing, therefore, focuses on police investigative actions since the homicide investigation commenced, the interim findings on the strength of facts of evidential value so far established, and grounds pending further actions in guiding the investigation into conclusion. The investigation process was directed at addressing two fundamental questions. Firstly, what are the immediate chain of events that occasioned the death of Mohbad? Secondly who are the actors that could, within the context of extant criminal law and procedures be evidentially held criminally liable, either individually or jointly, for the death of Mohbad on 12th September, 2023.

The Lagos State Police further disclosed details about five suspects who have undergone intensive interrogations over the issue.


“In addressing the latter component of these questions, due investigative actions were focused on the allegations of possible complicity in the death of Mohbad by AbdulAzeez Adeshina (a.k.a. Naira Marley) and Samson Erinfolami Balogun ‘m’ (a.k.a. Sam Larry) who both were widely alleged in the social media of conspiring to serially bully and assault the deceased in his lifetime. It also focuses on the allegations on the social media that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) could also be complicit in his death following a viral video in which the late singer raised a narrative of his experience while in custody of the Agency prior to his death.


This component of the investigations is to specify if there is any evidence to directly or circumstantially prove the allegations against Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and the NDLEA to the eventual death of Mohbad on Tuesday 12th, September, 2023.
