Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo is mobilising a protest in Lagos State to demand justice for the late singer Mohbad.
She announced an Instagram live session and revealed that her NGO, Pinkies Foundation, will submit a letter to the state government on Monday ahead of the planned rally on Tuesday or Wednesday.
In her plea to Governor Sanwo Olu, Iyabo emphasised the need for thorough investigations, expressing a desire for genuine, concrete actions rather than superficial inquiries. She stated, "We parents are bringing the revolution to reality. The autopsy must be done."
Iyabo's lawyer and foundation will send letters to various offices, including international bodies, underscoring the urgency for justice. The objective is to conduct a peaceful rally to highlight the demands.
Reports indicate that Mohbad, an ex-Marlian Music Record signee, passed away at 27 and was laid to rest on Wednesday. The circumstances surrounding his demise have sparked widespread debate online. The late singer had previously expressed concerns about threats to his life attributed to the Marlian record label owned by Naira Marley.
Following public outcry and initial police review, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, has ordered a comprehensive criminal investigation into the case.
Additionally, a petition has been launched on change.org to advocate for banning Mohbad's former record label, Marlian Music, which has garnered over 250,000 signatures at the time of this report.
