To solve the mystery surrounding the death of a 27-year-old fast-rising artist, Ileri-Oluwa Oladimeji, also known as Mohbad, the Lagos State Police Command has established a 13-man investigative panel.
Mohbad passed away on Tuesday in mysterious circumstances that have generated a lot of controversy, particularly on social media.
He was reportedly bullied by his former record company, Marlian Records, and felt as though his life was in danger following threat from show promoter Sam Larry and others.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, was then directed by the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to conduct an investigation into the tragedy.
In a report released on Monday, the command stated that a panel had been established to investigate the issue and deliver an interim report in two weeks.
“Following the death of one Ileri Oluwa Oladimeji AKA Mohbad. ‘M’ Aged 27yrs which occurred in the month of September 12th 2023, and in the overriding public interest, the Command has set up a special investigative team to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of the victim, identify witnesses, culprits if any and any person that will be helpful to the investigative process and deploy processes and other technological tools to aid the investigative course in line with the relevant provisions of the law,” the report read.
