The inauguration of a 13-man special investigative team by the Lagos State Police Command to probe the death of the late singer's son, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, was attended by Joseph Aloba, the singer's father, and some other relatives.
While addressing the press at the inauguration, the Lagos State Commissioner, Idowu Owohunwa, said, "Wherever you are in this world, do not forget, we have a unique access in the INTERPOL, everybody linked to it will be identified and brought to establish their level of liability.
"We want to undertake a fair and open investigation, and we don't want to isolate specific characters. All facts, including videos, personalities that have been mentioned, those not even mentioned but we do know from our homicide investigation experience, could be vital to getting to the root of this.
"I don't want to reduce it to specific names at this moment. Let's proceed with the investigation. And as we have need to identify individuals which could be wider, we will pick on whoever we believe from investigation is linked and we'll bring such a person within the dictates of the law to come and clarify their level of involvement."
Mohbad died on September 12 at the age of 27.
BAYELSA GUBER: Massive Defection Hits PDP.
As 5 Aides To Douye Diri, State PDP Youth Leader, Others Dump PDP, Declare Support For Timipre Sylva.
The Details:
Key Chieftains of the People's Democratic Party in Bayelsa State, including the party's Youth Leader, Hon. Nunieh Odede, have dumped the party in favour of the APC's governorship candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva.
In a handwritten letter on Monday, September 17, Hon. Nunieh announced his resignation from the PDP. Following suit, other principal aides of the governor vacated their offices to camp with Chief Sylva.
In an endorsement meeting with Sylva, on wednesday, Nunieh stated 'We have spent years with the PDP and we built the party to where it is. It is imperative we move on now in light of what is happening in the state'
' Bayelsa is in comatose state and we cannot keep doing the old things and expect to get it right. Our resignation from the PDP, honestly, is to save our dear state from further ruin'
In a message to the press on monday, Chief Sylva, through his spokesperson Julius Bokoru wrote 'Youth are always the driving force of every society, youths also embodies and gives a trajectory of what the future would look like'
'Your decisions today is heroic and selfless, you have placed state over self and beyond even the elections you instill in us all that Bayelsa state is bound to do well'
Sylva welcomed the move of the PDP stakeholders and 'nvited them to the divine duty of advancing soceity'
Among the high-profile team that flipped from Diri to Sylva is Comr. Abiah Joseph Oyisor (Director Bayelsa State Evironmental Authority), Hon.Ayaye Obuma ( Governor’s Representative Yenegoa LGA), Hon. Itu Goodluck ( Special Adviser Special Duties to the Governor), Hon. Timipa Ile (Special Adviser Special Duties to the Governor) and Hon. Olali Suwofien (Special Adviser Special Duties)
After their resignation from the PDP and endorsement of APC and Chief Sylva, it is expected that they would be received in a formal endorsement ceremony with dozens of thousands of their supporters.
Political analysts have posited that these high-profile massive defections in Yenagoa LGA has eroded what was left of Douye Diri's chance of winning the capital Yenagoa, especially the Epie/Atissa kingdoms were Sylva is making mammoth gains.
Similarly, days ago deputy Governorship candidate of the APC, Joshua Maciver, received thousands of defectors from Sagbama LGA and the home of the imcumbent Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State.
