Yomi Fabiyi, the Nigerian actor, has called for a “peaceful” protest to demand justice for Ilerioluwa Aloba, the late singer better known as Mohbad.
Mohbad, who was signed to Naira Marley’s Marlian Music, passed away under mysterious circumstances on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day.
On September 21, his body was exhumed for an autopsy at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), which revealed no significant findings that could be attributed to his death.
The toxicology report did detect the presence of Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, but not in a concentration considered fatal.
Mohbad’s family rejected the results and demanded an independent investigation.
According to Monisola Odumosu, a member of the Aloba legal team, a two-part autopsy is currently underway, with the first phase completed and the second part involving toxicology and histology tests.
Fabiyi, in an Instagram post on Tuesday, urged the public to peacefully attend upcoming court sessions and participate in the coroner’s inquest.
He also proposed that if no progress is made, a peaceful protest should be organised around the first anniversary of Mohbad’s death to further press for justice.
“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 comes a few hours after Mohbad’s family opposed plans by some organisations and individuals to commemorate the first anniversary of the singer’s death.
