The city of Benin, Edo State’s capital, has not been left out, with its own gathering of youth demonstrators demanding justice for the late musician.
The passing of Mohbad, a former signee of Marlian Music, owned by popular singer and rapper Azeez Faashola, known as Naira Marley, has been shrouded in controversy since his demise at the age of 27. Concerns regarding the exact cause of his death have led to the Lagos State Police Command forming a 13-member special investigation team. They have indicated the possibility of exhuming Mohbad’s body for an autopsy.
The nationwide protests underscore the public’s insistence on a transparent and thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s untimely demise, as Nigerians across the country unite under the banner of #JusticeForMohbad.
