The Nigeria — Federal High Court of Nigeria in Abuja granted permission to Break the Silence Foundation, an NGO, to apply for an order of mandamus. This order compels the International — Inspector general, the Nigeria — Nigeria Police Force, and the Nigeria — Lagos State Police Command to re-investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of musician MohBad. Justice James Omotosho delivered the ruling, which also mandates the police to invite individuals last seen with MohBad, including his wife Omowumi Cynthia Aloba and father Joseph Aloba, for questioning. The NGO initiated the suit after alleging that previous police investigations were incomplete and compromised, leading to a petition to the Nigeria — Presidency of Nigeria and a directive for a fresh investigation by the Nigeria — Force Criminal Investigation Department. The matter is adjourned until May 4 for further hearing.
