The late musician Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, better known by his stage name Mohbad, was allegedly arrested and held for several days, according to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), which claims to have responded to a police investigation by the Lagos State Police Command.
While providing an update on the investigation into Mohbad’s death on Friday, October 6, Lagos State Commissioner of Police Idowu Owohunwa stated that the command is still awaiting reports on the autopsy performed on the late singer’s remains as well as “official response from the NDLEA on one of the viral videos containing allegations by the singer on his experience in the agency’s office sometime in October 2022.”
The spokesperson for the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, responded to the police commissioner’s comments in
A summary of the response to the police read;
“We also heard the unsubstantiated allegation on social media that Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, aka MohBad, was arrested and detained by NDLEA on the 24th of February 2022 and given a substance to drink. In response to this allegation, we wish to state categorically that MohBad was never arrested neither was he ever detained in the custody of the NDLEA on the said date or any other date before or after. The foregoing being the case, the issue of giving him any substance to drink does not arise.”
