The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has reportedly approved a petition by the family of late singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, seeking a fresh and comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding his de@th.

The family disclosed this through its lawyer, Oladayo Ogungbe, in a statement dated September 29, 2026, clarifying that the police re-investigation was ongoing despite the Federal High Court, Abuja, recently dismissing a suit.

According to Ogungbe, the Aloba family submitted the petition to the IGP on April 14, 2026, and it was received at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, on May 7.

The petition, he said, raised concerns over inconsistencies in the previous investigative process and called for a comprehensive forensic reconstruction of the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s de@th.

The lawyer said the petition was subsequently approved by the IGP and forwarded to the Lagos State Police Command for immediate action.

He added that the family was later informed that the petition had been assigned to officers of the Special Enquiry Bureau for further investigation.

“The family’s representative has since been invited and has engaged with the new team of investigators assigned to the matter. The family has continued to follow up with the investigators and remained engaged with [/b]the new investigative process,” Ogungbe stated

[b]The clarification followed the dismissal, on September 25, 2026, of Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/363/2026 by the Federal High Court, Abuja.

Ogungbe stressed that the suit was separate from the family’s petition to the police and was neither instituted by the Aloba family nor with its authority or consent.

“The Aloba Family therefore does not wish the public to conflate the dismissal of that suit with the separate investigative process already commenced pursuant to the Family’s petition to the Inspector-General of Police,” the statement noted.

The family urged the police to conduct the investigation with diligence, independence and professionalism while examining all relevant persons and circumstances.

No such thing exists. Ghosts can not do anything. Mohbad is dead and gone. You guys are too superstitious. Investigations can take years even in advanced countries so why are you agitated? They must find his killer. His wife and brother are major suspects so the case cannot be left like that. Who are you to stop the process when a pained father wants to know who killed his son?
