Court Rejects Suit Seeking Fresh Police Investigation Into Late Singer Mohbad’s Death

The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking to compel the Nigeria Police Force to conduct a fresh investigation into the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

Justice James Omotosho dismissed the case filed by the Registered Trustees of Break the Silence Foundation in a judgment delivered on Thursday.

The judge ruled that the foundation lacked the legal capacity to institute the suit.

Justice Omotosho also described the application as speculative and lacking sufficient merit, noting that the foundation failed to produce the original police investigation report to support its claim that the earlier investigation was inadequate.

The court further cautioned lawyers handling ongoing cases against discussing matters before the court during media interviews or on social media.

Justice Omotosho described such conduct as professional misconduct.
