The death of rising singer Oladimeji Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, has been regarded as a massive loss to Yorubaland, Nigeria, and the entertainment world at large by the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdurosheed Akanbi.
In a statement made available to journalists on Wednesday by his media aide, Alli Ibraheem, the monarch urged the Lagos state government to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.
It reads:
“As I urged the Lagos State Government to ensure justice prevails on the circumstances surrounding his death, I appeal to the protesting youth to be calm, civil in their conduct and public demonstration.
“The ardent lovers of Mohbad are enjoined to leave the street and go home. The protest may be hijacked by hoodlums if not properly managed.
“Stakeholders are already working to ensure justice for Mohbad. The youth should cooperate with the government by conducting themselves in a peaceful manner.
“Once again, may the soul of the departed Mohbad rest in peace”.
