The Mohbad family lawyer has responded to Yomi Fabiyi’s call for a peaceful protest at the upcoming court hearing regarding his death.
Mohbad, a prominent figure in the field of medicine, passed away mysteriously on September 12, 2023, and was laid to rest the following day.
The autopsy at LASUTH on September 21 found no significant findings attributed to his death, following his body’s exhumation.
The family lawyer of Mohbad has made a response to actor Yomi Fabiyi’s recent appeal for a “peaceful” protest at the upcoming court hearing concerning the singer’s death.
On September 12, 2023, Mohbad passed away under enigmatic circumstances. The following day, he was laid to rest.
His body was exhumed for an autopsy at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) on September 21, but no significant findings were found that could be linked to his death.
The toxicology report did identify the presence of Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine; however, the concentration was not considered lethal.
The results were denied by Mohbad’s family, who demanded an independent investigation.
As per Monisola Odumosu, a member of the Aloba legal team, a two-part autopsy is presently in progress. The initial phase has been completed, and the subsequent phase will involve toxicology and histology tests.
Fabiyi encouraged the public to attend forthcoming court sessions in a peaceful manner and participate in the coroner’s inquest on Tuesday.
In addition, he suggested that a peaceful protest be organized around the first anniversary of Mohbad’s murder to further advocate for justice if no progress is made.
“Let’s storm the court peacefully and attend the next coroner inquest and protest to register our demands on this case. If nothing tangible is seen or heard, we focus on the day of the one-year anniversary,” he wrote.
The actor’s call was received just a few hours after Mohbad’s family vehemently opposed the plans of certain organizations and individuals to commemorate the first anniversary of the singer’s death.
However, in a statement that was provided to TheCable Lifestyle on Wednesday, Odumosu stated that the staging of a protest within the court environment “poses a threat to smooth proceedings.”
She affirmed that it is permissible for “anyone to do whatever they like” within the confines of the law, but she cautioned that all activities must be conducted in a civil manner “to avoid contempt of court.”
“Anyone is free to do whatever he wants so far he or she does it within the confines of the law. The Constitution gives everyone the right to express his or her grievances,” the statement reads in part.
“However coming within the court precinct is another issue entirely. They must conduct themselves in a very civil manner and must not make noise. The business of justice in the court must not be disturbed in any manner. Lest they be charged for contempt of Court.
“Our advice is that they should not disrupt the proceedings in the court in any form whilst they exercise their rights.”
