The Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Idowu Owohunwa on Friday gave an update on the ongoing investigation into the death of 27-year-old singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
The Publisher Nigeria had earlier reported that the state police command would update Nigerians on how far the investigation has gone.
The Commissioner of Police, during a press conference held on Friday at Command Headquarters in Ikeja, said the police had identified a total of 26 witnesses.
He also disclosed that five suspects have been interrogated.
Owohunwa, “So far 26 witnesses have been identified in the ongoing investigation of Mohbad.
“Five suspects have so far been interrogated in relation to the ongoing investigation.”
Owohunwa further stated that the nurse that treated the singer before his death is the principal suspect.
He said the auxiliary nurse was not qualified to administer injections on Mohbad, adding that the injections triggered other things leading to the singer’s death.
The Commissioner, however, said the result of the autopsy conducted on the deceased was still being awaited.
The Publisher Nigeria understands that the Lagos State Police Command is currently detaining popular singer, Naira Marley, Lagos socialite, Sam Larry and a childhood friend of Mohbad, Owodunni Ibrahim, also known as Primeboy.
