Mohbad’s Death: We Will Carry Out Diligent Investigation — Police

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has said it will investigate the death of 27-year-old Nigerian artiste, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, stage name “Mohbad”.

This is following an outcry and a trending video of the young artiste being bullied by Sam Larry and other associates of his former label boss, Naira Marley.
