The legal team representing the family of the late Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad, has raised concerns about the release of sensitive details regarding his death to the public.
Taiwo Odumosu, a leading member of the team, stated in a Sunday release to PUNCH Metro that such information should be directed to the police rather than being made public.
He also urged anyone with information relevant to the investigation into the singer’s death to come forward and assist in the ongoing inquiry.
“Given the nature of the death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad), and the information being released to the public space which ordinarily should have been given to the police, the Legal Team to the Aloba Family wishes to advise that anyone with useful and relevant information that could aid in the search for and the circumstances leading to the death of the singer should reach out to the Legal Team to facilitate proper legal connectivity. The police can also be contacted to ensure the safety and protection of witnesses and suspects,” the statement partly read.
Odumosu also noted that the coroner’s inquest had issued witness summons, adding that the family was seeking assistance in gathering facts to determine what led to Mohbad’s untimely demise.
“Please, note that Joseph Aloba does not seek to pursue any personal or familiar relationships at this point. His whole interest is focused on getting to the bottom and finding out details as to what happened to his dear son and the circumstances that led to his untimely demise.
The Coroner’s Court is the best forum to disclose any information that could assist in the fact-finding mission of the court,” the statement added.
