Visual documentation of this significant discussion between the IGP and CP was shared, depicting their engagement at the Police Airwing, located within the premises of Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Ikeja.
He said, “IGP and CP Lagos deliberating on the death of Mohbad at the Police Airwing, Muritala Mohammed Airport, Ikeja Lagos on Saturday. The IGP immediately directed CP Lagos to deploy the command’s resources to carry out a thorough investigation on the matter. The IGP promised the CP of adequate support on the case.”

Mohbad was confirmed dead by his family through a statement on Tuesday.
He was laid to rest on Wednesday in Ikorodu, Lagos.

Mohbad had a son with his wife Omowunmi.
