Police investigate illegal embalming of Mohbad’s body

The Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police Force is currently escalating its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the passing of the renowned singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, famously known as Mohbad.

The inquiry was initiated after Mohbad’s family and those involved in the ongoing investigation regarding the unauthorized embalming of the deceased’s body were summoned.

Boluwatife Adeyemo, also known as Darosha, who served as Mohbad’s Personal Assistant, was previously questioned at the Zone 2 Police Headquarters alongside the deceased’s parents, Joseph and Abosede.

Following Darosha’s interrogation, law enforcement officials have called for the appearance of all individuals mentioned in his statement for further questioning.

Monisola Odumosu, who heads the family’s legal team, confirmed that the subsequent round of questioning took place on Tuesday at the Zone 2 Police Headquarters in Lagos State. Odumosu also mentioned that the police are actively working to uncover the identity of the “illegal mortician.”

He added: “The police will reveal to the public soon, who illegally embalmed the body of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad.

“The police stated they would work on their report and continue investigations which will be directed to the Legal Department of the force for a recommendation.

“The meeting was held at Zone 2 and present at the meeting were Mr. Joseph Aloba (Mohbad’s father), Boluwatife Adeyemi (aka Darosha), Adura Aloba (Mohbad’s younger brother), Mrs. Abosede Olumuyi (Mohbad’s mother) and Cynthia Omowunmi Aloba (Mohbad’s wife). Others include Iya Lolade and Samuel (Mr. Joseph Aloba’s witnesses) and lawyers to the parties”

The family’s legal representatives had formally lodged a petition with the police, as directed by their clients, asserting that Boluwatife Adeyemo, the personal assistant to the late Mohbad, had engaged in the unlawful embalming of the singer’s body.
