While this mission was finalising its visit to Mohbad’s mother, a 13-person investigation team had been mobilised to unravel the cause of his demise. This was announced yesterday by Mr. Idowu Owohunwa, the Lagos State Police Commissioner, at a press briefing.
At the briefing was Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, who has also explained the reason for his son’s quick burial.
