The Nigerian Police Force (NPF), Lagos State Command has given an update on the autopsy being conducted on the remains of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, gave the update in a statement on his verified X handle, saying the autopsy was carried out by the best forensic pathologists in the country.

He revealed that family members of the late singer were present during the autopsy.

The PPRO debunked rumour that the process may be hijacked by some unscrupulous individuals who would not want the singer to get justice.

He urged Nigerians to remain calm while the result of the autopsy is being awaited.

He wrote,

“As assured by the CP, the autopsy was promptly carried out by some of the best forensic pathologists in the country, in the presence of family members.

“While we await the result, we urge everyone to remain calm and confident in the process.
