Mr Idowu Owohunwa, the Police Commissioner, Lagos State Command, on Monday, inaugurated a special investigative team to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of popular R&B singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the inauguration of the 19-member team, from the homicide Section of the State, took place at the command’s main hall in Ikeja.
Recall that the command had, in a statement on Saturday, announced the constitution of the team.
It said this became necessary in view of the growing public concerns and the preliminary police review of the general circumstances surrounding the death.
“The team, which comprises seasoned homicide detectives, has been tasked to aggregate all allegations, suspicions and insinuations from various sources on the death of the singer.
“The team is to undertake a professional, diligent and timely investigation with a view to establishing facts, clearing all doubts and ensuring that justice is manifestly served through a meticulous process that will deploy all requisite protocols (which may include exhumation),” the command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin said.
