The Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed May 28, 2026, for the hearing of a suit that seeks to compel the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to reopen investigations into the death of popular musician Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, widely known as Mohbad.

The suit, filed by concerned parties, argues that the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death remain unresolved and require further scrutiny. Petitioners insist that reopening the probe is necessary to ensure transparency, justice, and accountability.

Mohbad, a rising star in Nigeria’s music industry, died under controversial circumstances in September 2023, sparking nationwide protests and calls for justice. His passing ignited debates about artist welfare, industry pressures, and the role of law enforcement in protecting citizens.

The court’s decision to schedule a hearing signals that the matter is far from closed. Legal experts note that if the suit succeeds, the police may be compelled to revisit evidence, re‑interview witnesses, and possibly expand the scope of the investigation.

Fans and advocacy groups have welcomed the development, describing it as a step toward uncovering the truth. Many continue to demand clarity on the events leading to Mohbad’s death, insisting that justice must not be delayed or denied.
