Joseph Aloba, the father of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has voiced his dissatisfaction with the progress of the police investigation into the cause of his son’s death.
Following the death of Mohbad, former signee of Naira Marley, on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27 in Lagos State, rising speculations forced an investigation team to be set up in a bid to dig into the cause of the demise.
The sloth in the efforts of the Lagos State Police Command 13-man Special Investigation Team which was set up on September 18, 2023, to probe the mysterious death of the singer made Joseph Aloba express his discontent in an interview on Trust TV today.
Aloba highlighted his expectation that the police would accompany him to search Mohbad’s house after he reported the incident; a step he claims has not been taken.
Furthermore, Aloba lamented the lack of information regarding the autopsy report, stating, “I am not satisfied with the police investigation. When I carried Mohbad’s body to the police station, my expectation is that they would follow me to search his house or give me the police (autopsy) report which they have not given me.”
He urged the authorities to intensify efforts, emphasizing the importance of justice and expressing concern that delays may lead to denial.
While calling on the government to take decisive action, Aloha stated, “I am begging the government to put more effort so that things can go on fine as people expect“.

The singer’s body was exhumed for autopsy on September 21, 2023, as part of the investigation. However, Aloba has not been provided with the autopsy report, contributing to his dissatisfaction with the ongoing process.
In November 2023, the Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, clarified that the command had not officially received the autopsy report, dispelling rumors suggesting otherwise. Hundeyin reiterated, “We work with facts,” and emphasized the need to await the official report from the pathologists conducting the autopsy.
The death of Mohbad also resulted in the arrests of Naira Marley and the controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, aka Sam Larry, among others.
