GOVERNOR of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is mourning the death of late Nigerian Rapper, Oladimeji Aloba Promise aka Mohbad.
The Governor went further to promise justice in ongoing investigations to uncover any person(s) complicit in the death of the late Artiste.
Sanwo-Olu made this pledge in a post made on Tuesday via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter).
“I am not oblivious to the sad passing of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Imole Aloba (Mohbad). We have been closely working behind the scenes with relevant authorities and keenly following the ongoing investigations,” the Governor wrote.
The Governor, in a bid to stress his willingness to see justice prevail in the matter, stated that he has involved the Department of State Services (DSS) into the matter.
“However, in order to boost the investigations, I have invited the Department of State Services (DSS) to join the investigation and widen the dragnet with inter-agency collaboration and the use of best-in-class technology to unearth the truth.
“I have instructed that all those who may have played any role whatsoever in any event leading to the death of MohBad be made to face the law after a thorough investigation.
“I hereby plead with all those who may have vital information that may assist the investigation process to avail the investigating team with such.
“I have also appealed to the investigating team to guarantee the confidentiality and protection of all witnesses who may come forward with vital information or indicative evidence that may assist the process,” Sanwo-Olu said.
The Governor sent condolences to friends and family of the late Rapper, urging them to remain “calm.”
“I also appeal to all friends and fans of the deceased to stay calm and refrain from making inflammatory utterances and reaching prejudicial conclusions on this matter.
“Staying calm and following the process will be our most solemn tribute to the memory of the departed talent,” he ended.
Mohbad passed away on Tuesday September 12, 2023, in controversial circumstances.
The deceased former record label Boss, Naira Marley and his ally, Sam Larry, have since been alleged to have played a role in his death.
The late Rapper was aged 27yrs at the time of his death.
