The family of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and the Police Service Commission over the handling of the investigation into his death by the Lagos State Police Command.
In a statement signed by the head of the family’s legal team, Taiwo Odumosu, the family alleged that the officers in charge mishandled the crime scene, failed to secure potential evidence, and overlooked crucial testimonies.
The family demanded the replacement and probe of all police officers involved in the case, citing lapses in the investigation, including the failure to cordon off the crime scene, and the removal of the DVR of the CCTV installed in the deceased’s apartment.
