Nigerian musicians, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido, Falz and Zlatan Ibile have joined the candlelight procession in honour of late Afrobeats star Mohbad in the Victoria Island area of Lagos.

The 27-year-old Ilerioluwa Aloba died in Lagos under controversial circumstances.

Since his demise, Nigerians have been calling for a thorough probe into the circumstances surrounding his passage.

The procession started around 7:18pm with hundreds of youths gathered in honour of the talented artiste.

A similar event is also taking place in Peckham Square, in Peckham, the UK. Participants were heard singing the late rapper’s songs in viral social media videos.

“Autopsy has been concluded. Awaiting result…,” the Lagos Police Command spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin wrote on his X handle late Thursday.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun had also ordered a thorough probe into Mohbad’s death with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State asking the Department of State Services (DSS) to join the investigation.

The Senate has also waded into the matter with Senator Elisha Abbo visiting the singer’s family in the Lekki area of Lagos State.  He assured them of the government’s commitment to getting justice over the matter.

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Thursday said it will probe the circumstances leading to the death of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

The musician died ob Tuesday evening and has since been buried. He was 27 years.

Two days after the controversial demise of the young singer, Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said police were committed to a comprehensive investigation into the matter.

“Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family, friends, and fans of the late Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad, who recently passed away. We understand the concerns regarding his untimely demise,” he said.

“The Nigeria Police Force is committed to a comprehensive investigation into this matter, as the Lagos State Commissioner of Police has been tasked to unravel the circumstances surrounding his death. Rest assured, updates will be provided as investigations unfold.
