The Force Public Relations Officer, Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has issued a stern warning to sympathizers and curious individuals in the wake of the late singer Mohbad’s tragic passing. He emphasized the importance of refraining from interfering with the ongoing investigation into the matter.
Speaking in connection with a candlelight procession held in the late singer’s memory on September 21, 2023, Adejobi expressed concern over individuals visiting Mohbad’s parents and asking them questions, as this can impede the investigation process carried out by security agencies.
Adejobi stated, “Individuals are coming out to interview (the deceased) mother and father, for what purpose? They are affecting the process of investigation because if you ask someone a question during interrogation, the second time you’re asking the same question is not going to be the same thing. He must have a second thought that what I said the first time might not be the truth.”
He further emphasized that these unsolicited inquiries could lead to inconsistencies in the statements provided during the investigation.
The Force PRO advised sympathizers to show restraint and allow the grieving family to mourn without being subjected to inquiries for social media attention. He discouraged using the tragedy for self-promotion or personal gains on social media platforms.
“People will just go, do a video saying ‘see the mother of Mohbad’. It is not worth it. You don’t trend on issues like this. People are mourning. The wife is mourning, the child is mourning, partners are mourning, and then you go there because you want to cruise. Anything you do on Mohbad now, you’re going to have large engagements, perhaps many want to get money from Twitter or Instagram. No! Don’t cruise with Mohbad’s death. Let us mourn him and allow the police and security agencies to carry out investigations. This is what we have promised,” Adejobi urged.
Adejobi’s cautionary statement comes in light of visits from Senator Elisha Abbo and Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh to the family of the late singer, which sparked concerns about undue interference in the ongoing investigation.
