A Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned to June 25, 2026, the hearing of a lawsuit seeking to compel the Nigeria Police Force to conduct a fresh, thorough investigation into the death of Afrobeats singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

The case, presided over by Justice James Omotosho, was slated for hearing on Wednesday, June 17, but was postponed due to ongoing terrorism trials occupying the court.

The suit, filed by the Registered Trustees of Break the Silence Foundation, is praying for an order of mandamus compelling the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the Nigeria Police Force, and the Lagos State Commissioner of Police to carry out a diligent, impartial, and comprehensive reinvestigation into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.

Mohbad, aged 27, died on September 12, 2023. His death sparked widespread controversy and public outcry, leading to the arrest of several persons of interest by the Lagos State Police Command.

Those arrested include his childhood friend Oluwatosin Owoduni (Primeboy), singer Naira Marley, music promoter Sam Larry, and auxiliary nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe, who allegedly administered injections to him at his residence.
