His Royal Majesty, Oba Saheed Elegushi, the Elegushi, Kunsela III, of Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom, Lagos, has called on the Police to investigate the circumstances surrounding the untimely death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as ‘Mohbad.’ Through his lawyer, Adepeju Omotayo, at the ongoing trial of James Adeshola and Awiye Azeez, Oba Elegushi expressed concern over the alleged cyberbullying and defamation he endured following Mohbad’s death.

Omotayo emphasized, “The traditional ruler is deeply committed to justice being pursued responsibly and within the confines of the law. She strongly affirmed that Kabiesi will not tolerate any attempts to tarnish his good name and reputation for personal gain.”

She also clarified that Oba Elegushi had no prior acquaintance with the late Aloba, his spouse, or any family member, hoping to end unwarranted accusations. Oba Elegushi reportedly expressed his heartfelt desire as a father and leader to uncover the truth behind Mohbad’s death during a meeting with Mr. Josiah Aloba, Mohbad’s father, at Zone 2 Headquarters of the Nigeria Police in Onikan.

Reports indicated Oba Elegushi’s compassionate intervention at the meeting, ensuring Mr. Aloba was not detained. He emphasized his interest in seeing justice served for Mohbad and his family rather than causing harm. The trial for the two accused individuals will reconvene on July 5, 2024, at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos.
