Yomi Fabiyi announces Sept 30 protest at Lagos assembly over Mohbad's death

Yomi Fabiyi has announced a second protest demanding justice for late singer Mohbad, who died under mysterious circumstances on September 12, 2023.

The protest is scheduled for September 30 at the Lagos state assembly, coinciding with the coroner’s resumption to investigate Mohbad’s death.

In an Instagram post, Fabiyi called on the public to join him in peacefully protesting to pressure the police to access the CCTV footage from Mohbad’s house.

The actor said he believes the footage is crucial in unraveling the truth behind Mohbad’s death. He also urged Lagos lawmakers to set up a committee to retrieve the CCTV content.

The actor also said the protest is aimed to prompt the Lagos government to intervene and ensure that justice is served.

Fabiyi alleged that the people responsible for Mohbad’s death are attempting to cover up the case by spending millions of naira to create distractions and bury the evidence.

“It is imperative that we mount legitimate pressure and protest peacefully to the gate of the Lagos State House of Assembly on the 30th of September, 2024,” he wrote.

“Those behind this heinous crime, those who cut Mohbad’s life short are spending millions upon millions of naira to see that they cover up the case, create distractions, and bury the many blatant evidence.

“We are so sure the CCTV cameras inside and outside Mohbad’s house were working, and they store remotely someone and not via DVR. The builder of the houses of similar patterns and Royal Pine Estate, Off Orchid Road, Lekki security, and CDA have answers to where these facts are stored.

“Why the Police did not wish to retrieve it can be very frustrating. We the masses do not want to put laws into our hands by going to ask for it, hence we need the true representative of the people of Lagos State to wade in and set up a committee to summon, visit and bring the truth out.

“COME ONE, COME ALL, AND LET US SPEAK IN ONE VOICE on the 30th of September. This struggle needs you. Be orderly and civil when attending.”

Mohbad was buried a day after he passed away. On September 21, 2023, his body was exhumed for an autopsy at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), which revealed no significant findings that could be attributed to his death.

Mohbad’s family had rejected the results and demanded an independent investigation.

Monisola Odumosu, a member of the Aloba legal team, disclosed that a two-part autopsy is currently underway, with the first phase completed and the second part involving toxicology and histology tests.

On September 11, Fabiyi led a crowd of protesters to the Ikorodu magistrate court at the resumption of the coroner’s inquest into Mohbad’s death.
