MohBad: Protesters storm Lagos Assembly, seek justice

Some protesters have staged a protest to the Lagos State House of Assembly, seeking justice for the late Afrobeats musician, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (MohBad).

The protesters called on the lawmakers to take action on the issue, saying that the culprits must be brought to book.

It would be recalled that the mysterious death of the 27-year-old musician had generated controversy on the social media and in diaspora.

Speaker on behalf of the protesters, Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo said: “It is no longer news that Lagosians are agitating for justice over the death of Mr. Ireoluwa Oladimeji Aloba popularly known as Mohbad who died under some unclear circumstances.

“Mohbad had posted videos of how he had been under serious attacks from members of the record label he left to be on his own.

“Even though we know the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State has started an investigation over the cause of the mysterious death, we seek justice,” she said.

However, addressing the protesters, the Deputy Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Adedamola Kasunmu, thanked the protesters for the peaceful conduct, promising to present their demands to the Speaker.

“There was plenary yesterday and part of the issues raised on the floor of the House were that of Mr. Adebola Bright, the boy with the missing intestines, and it was unfortunate that yesterday he gave up the ghost.

“We also discussed the demise of Mohbad and I can assure you that we will allow the law to take its cause.

“Let us await what the results of the investigations from the police chief will bring and we will take it up from there,” he added.

Other members of the House, who received the protesters were Hon. Sylvester Ogunkelu, Hon. Ajani Owolabi and Hon. Rasheed Shabi.
