The late musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, was a well established singer before his demise. The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has cautioned bloggers, social media influencers, and celebrities to avoid interfering excessively with the current investigations into his death.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force’s public relations officer, posted the warning on his X-era Twitter account.
The police spokesperson issued a further warning against trying to exploit the artist’s passing for content harvesting or to achieve popularity.
He advised the public to be careful with their comments regarding the ongoing inquiry and warned that the police or any security agency might be forced to call anyone who was seen making supportive remarks to the case to corroborate or testify.
“I have warned the so-called bloggers and celebs to allow us to do our work. They should not use Mohbad’s death to cruise or mobilize followers. They need to wait for the outcome of the investigation.
“Anyone who makes comments (affirmatively) on the issue might be invited by the police or any security agency to corroborate or testify in the case. You’d better be careful and allow the law to take its course. The law is wide and complex and could, at the same time, be flexible. Be warned,”
