The protest follows the Aloba family’s dissatisfaction with the handling of Mohbad’s case, particularly concerning the inconclusive toxicology test results reported by the pathologist.
Seeking justice, the family is demanding a re-examination of the toxicology tests, insisting on transparency and adherence to the highest standards of forensic science.
During a virtual press conference led by their lawyers, Wahab Shittu and Taiwo Odumosu, the family expressed concerns about the police’s lack of thorough investigation into Mohbad’s death.
xThey have called upon the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, to take a personal interest in the case and ensure accountability for those responsible.
The family’s demand for a new examination arises from a controversial report involving a United States laboratory. Initially, the Lagos State Government claimed that the poison test on the late musician was conducted in this US laboratory.
