The family of the late singer are determined to get to the cause of Mohbad's death and have appealed to the general public to release vital information that could aid the investigation to the police instead of the public.

The decision of the family, represented by its legal team urged the public to ensure to release sensitive information that could be associated with the singer's death to the Nigerian police force, rather than the public, considering the information and accusations which have surfaced since the singer's death.

The legal team statement reads below: "Given the nature of the death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba and the information being released to the public space which ordinarily should have been given to the Police, the Aloba Family’s Legal Team wishes to advise that anyone with useful and relevant information that could aid in the search for and the circumstances leading to the singer’s death should reach out to the Legal Team to facilitate proper legal connectivity.

“Also, the Police can be contacted to ensure the protection of the witnesses and suspects. Additionally, the coroner’s inquest has issued witness summonses for those relevant to its investigation.

Please, note that Joseph Aloba does not seek to pursue any personal relationships at this point. His interest is focused on finding out the details of 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.”
