Odumosu also noted that the coroner’s inquest had issued witness summons, adding that the family was seeking assistance in gathering facts to determine what led to Mohbad’s untimely demise.


“Please, note that Joseph Aloba does not seek to pursue any personal or familiar relationships at this point. His whole interest is focused on getting to the bottom and finding out details as to what happened to his dear son and the circumstances that led to his untimely demise.


The Coroner’s Court is the best forum to disclose any information that could assist in the fact-finding mission of the court,” the statement added.


Mohbad died at the age of 27, on September 12, 2023, with circumstances surrounding his death sparking controversies on social media.


Being a former record label signee of Marlian Music owned by Naira Marley, Mohbad left the label in February 2022. The Lagos State Police Command had on September 18, 2023, inaugurated a 13-man special investigation team to probe the singer’s death.


His death also led to the arrest of Naira Marley and controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, amongst others. The singer’s body was on September 21, 2023, exhumed for autopsy to unravel the cause of his death.
