Idowu Owohunwa, the Lagos State Police Commissioner, has revealed that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) is being probed in connection with the death of Nigerian artist Mohbad.
The Commissioner of Police made the announcement on Friday during a live news briefing on X (previously known as Twitter), which Platinum Times was watching.
In a video that went viral after his death, the late singer claimed he was arrested by law enforcement.
“They gave me water inside a white bottle to drink. They said I was using drugs. I was the only one who drank it, they didn’t give others to drink. And they immediately told me to go home and told the others to wait.
“They even hit a gun on my head. I saved Zino in that video but Zino snitched on me, ” he said in the video.
Following the investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s sudden death, the Commissioner of Police while giving an update on Friday, 6th of October, said:
“The NDLEA is also being investigated to see if they are complicit based on his video during the arrest.”
