The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) said the autopsy of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba popularly known as Mohbad has been completed.
The NPF made this known on its X page on Thursday night.
IdanNews reports that the corpse of Mohbad was exhumed earlier on Thursday and this was confirmed by the Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin.
Hundeyin, while also announcing the completion of the autopsy, assured that information will be provided as soon as the results are available.
“The Nigeria Police Force wished to inform the public that the autopsy procedure for Mr Mohbad has been successfully
completed,” the NPF wrote.
“Furthermore the information will be provided as soon as the results are available.”
Nigerian youths have staged several peaceful protests to demand justice for him in many places including Abuja, Oyo, Ibadan, Ilorin, London and several locations in Lagos.
Lagos police command has set up a 13-man committee to investigate the death of the artist formerly signed under the record label of Marlian Record owned by controversial street singer Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley who many are accusing of having a hand in the death of Mohbad.
On his part, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has also asked that the Department of State Service (DSS) join in the investigation.
In a related development, a new commission to resolve artiste-manager disputes, Ishaku Abbo has said plans are underway to establish a commission that seeks to resolve dispute resolution between record labels and their signees.
Abbo who represents Adamawa State North Senatorial District made this disclosure when he paid a condolence visit to the residence of Mrs Adebose Olumuyi, the mother of late Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad.
Abbo said that the senate, in collaboration with the Ministry of Art, Culture, and Creative Economy, will see to the creation of the commission.
He said, “I have received petitions from
Nigerians calling for either a creative economy or entertainment economy commission where disputes that arise between record labels and their signees would be settled.”
He added that the creation of the commission will help to ensure that no one takes the law into their hands between record labels and their signees.
“When we have this commission, nobody will start taking things into their own hands.
But this doesn’t exist now in this country and I assure you that the Senate of the 10th Assembly, in collaboration with the minister for creative economy, will come up with a commission called creative
economy commission,” he announced.
According to him, “The Senate just passed a bill and it has scaled third reading. We have also done a public hearing about setting up a fund for victims of such incidents where the families can benefit like the EndSARS victims and other victims of violence.
“The FG is interested in setting up the fund. The creative industry is a very big one. It is a multi-billion economy and I am sure the current administration will ensure that the sector has a conducive atmosphere.”
