The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has approved a petition by the family of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, seeking a fresh and comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding his de.ath
The family disclosed this through its lawyer, Oladayo Ogungbe, in a statement dated September 29, 2026, clarifying that the police re-investigation was ongoing despite the recent dismissal of a suit by the Federal High Court, Abuja.
Ogungbe, in the statement said the Aloba family submitted the petition to the IGP on April 14, 2026, and that it was received at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, on May 7.
According to the statement, the petition raised concerns about inconsistencies in the previous investigative process and called for a comprehensive forensic reconstruction of the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s de.ath.
The lawyers said the petition was subsequently approved by the IGP and forwarded to the Lagos State Police Command for immediate action.
The family was later informed that the petition had been assigned to officers of the Special Enquiry Bureau for further investigation, according to the statement.
“The family’s representative has since been invited and has engaged with the new team of investigators assigned to the matter.
