… Family will Appeal decision- Lawyer

The Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja has dismissed the application brought by the father of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, who was seeking to quash the legal advice and court proceedings that freed music label owner, Naira Marley and promoter, Sam Larry from any involvement in Mohbad’s death.

In her judgment on Wednesday, justice Taiwo Olatokun said The Powers of the attorney general of Lagos state to prosecute or not to prosecute are absolute and cannot be questioned.

Responding after the judgment, counsel for the Aloba family, Wahab Shittu SAN told journalists that the family will be proceeding to appeal the decision, as their aim is not to indict anyone but is in the interest of justice.

Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, brought the application through his lead counsel, on behalf of the family, while the Attorney General of Lagos State and the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) were listed as the respondents.
