A human rights group has disclosed that it is not proper for the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, to address a press conference on the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, without an autopsy result, after the corpse had been exhumed for autopsy.

Owohunwa had earlier addressed a press conference where he gave an update on the matter, although the result of the autopsy has not been released.

Save The Poor And Needy Charity Initiative (SPANCI), in its reaction, noted that the group was not satisfied with the Lagos CP’s statement.

In a statement signed by its President, Comrade Yemi Bello, it described the CP’s statement during the press conference as decisive and diversionary.

“Lagos police CP’s press conference and statement without autopsy result not good for the cause of justice. SPANCI commend the IGP, who is known for credibility and professionalism, and also the effort of the Lagos state police command CP for their investigation in unravelling some mysteries relating to Mohbad’s death.

“However, we are not satisfied with the release of the Lagos CP’s press statement on Mohbad’s death without the autopsy results.

“This could raise suspicion as the issue is a global issue and our legal and justice system is on focus not only by Nigerians but also international communities; hence the Lagos CP would have waited for the autopsy results since he has gotten a court order to detain the suspects for 21 days within which we belief the autopsy results would have been released.

“This action has called for these questions which we demand answers from the police. Is Lagos CP under any pressure or instructions to do so, and from whom is such order? Why did Lagos CP not wait for autopsy results before making a press statement?

“Is the statement not decisive, diversionary and concluding about the cause of Mohbad’s death? What is now the essence of autopsy results when police already told us how Mohbad died?

“Does the investigative power of police represent the decision of the court? Did the police investigate the allegation of Primeboy on the wife based on the principle of fair hearing and justice? The hospital said he was brought in dead what of the man who claimed in a viral video that he saw Mohbad walk into the hospital by himself and even snapped with him but was shocked at the later occurrence? I think there are still needed investigations if justice will be done,” Bello said.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled that Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), must face trial in his ongoing terrorism case.

Delivering the ruling on Thursday, Justice James Omotosho dismissed Kanu’s no-case submission, stating that the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence linking him to terrorism-related activities. The judge ordered Kanu to open his defence on October 8, 2025.

According to Justice Omotosho, the prosecution’s exhibits and witness testimonies raise “serious allegations” that merit a full trial.

In a separate directive, the court also ordered the President of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) to constitute a special medical team to evaluate Kanu’s current health condition. The judge mandated the committee to submit its report within eight days.

The court instructed that the medical panel, consisting of 8 to 10 members including a cardiologist and a neurologist, must assess whether the Department of State Services (DSS) medical facility is adequately equipped to manage Kanu’s health needs. The committee is also empowered to use any medical facility in the country during its investigation.

Justice Omotosho further directed that the Chief Medical Director of the National Hospital, Abuja, be included as a member of the committee. Based on the committee’s findings, the court will determine whether Kanu should be transferred to the National Hospital for further treatment.

The trial continues amidst growing public and international attention surrounding Kanu’s detention and the broader implications for the separatist movement he leads.

A victim of kidnap was shot in the leg by kidnappers for failing to have sufficient money in his bank account.

The kidnappers said the shooting is to teach him a lesson.

This was even after they had already withdrawn two million naira from his bank account.

According to the Delta Police Command’s spokesperson, Bright Edafe, operatives have arrested three suspected kidnappers, who confessed that they collected N2 million ransom from their victim and still shot him.

The suspects, identified as Chukwuebuka Nka, Uche Okechukwu, and Somto Chukwuma, allegedly shot the victim in the leg after discovering he did not have enough money in his account.

According to the statement, the arrests followed a distress call that a young man had been kidnapped from his residence in Ogwashi-Uku.

Edafe said operatives tracked the suspects to a bush in Ogwashi-Uku, where the victim was rescued with a gunshot wound.

According to him, investigations led to the arrest of Chukwuebuka Nka and Uche Okechukwu in Anambra State, where the victim’s white Toyota Venza was also recovered.

He added that, based on the suspects’ confessions, operatives raided their hideout in Agidiase village, Ogwashi-Uku, and arrested the third suspect.

The suspects then led the police to their hideout, where their operational vehicle and a network jammer circuit device were also recovered.
