Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, has called upon the police authorities to uncover the enigma shrouding the untimely demise of the emerging music sensation, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad.
In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Yinka Oyebode, the Governor emphasized that the least the nation owes both the deceased and his grieving family is justice.
He maintained that this justice can only be achieved through a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances leading up to his tragic passing and the subsequent revelations that have surfaced.
Governor Oyebanji spoke on Tuesday just as Ekiti youths plan to hold a procession in Ado-Ekiti, the State capital to mourn the late Singer and demand justice for him.
Describing Mohbad as a talented singer, who at 27 had already carved a niche for himself in the entertainment world with several hit songs to his credit, Governor Oyebanji said the death of the singer at the peak of his career and the circumstances surrounding it are highly regrettable.
While extending condolences to members of the late singer’s immediate and extended families as well as his fans worldwide, the Ekiti State Governor urged the Nigeria Police to investigate the death and ensure that justice is done.
“Our condolences to the family and fans of the late singer, Mohbad. We feel their pains at this crucial moment and join other well- meaning Nigerians to demand a thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to his death”, the statement added.
