Following the tragic passing of singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji ‘Imole’ Aloba (Mohbad), which has deeply affected the nation, Nigeria is once again teetering on the brink of a revolution. This time, it’s not a movement to end police brutality, but a collective outcry over the loss of a budding music artist.
The emotions of anger, frustration, and a fervent call for justice have swept across social media, rallying thousands of young Nigerians back onto the streets in pursuit of accountability and change.
Mohbad, who passed away on September 12 and was swiftly buried the next day, has ignited both online and offline outrage. He was a promising musician known for his profound lyrics and relatable tracks, and his untimely demise has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and the nation at large.
His sudden and unexplained death has left his fans, fellow Nigerians, and fellow artists grieving and seeking answers. Influencers and celebrities have taken to their social media platforms to express their feelings, with some taking tangible actions.

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, on September 20, led a sizable group of demonstrators to the Lagos House of Assembly, urging lawmakers to address the mysterious death. She emphasized the need for justice concerning the demise of Ireoluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has also engaged the Department of State Services (DSS) to participate in the investigation into Mohbad’s passing, affirming his commitment to seeking answers.
The Lagos State Police Command has formed a 13-member special investigation team to look into the enigmatic death. The Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Idowu Owohunwa, has assured that all individuals connected to the case will be identified and their involvement assessed.
Despite these efforts, the youth remain skeptical and are stressing the necessity for concrete actions and systemic reforms rather than just words.
Mohbad’s tragic story underscores the adage, “Every day for the thief, one day for the owner.” While numerous individuals may have faced similar fates, possibly even more brutal ones, it only takes one incident to ignite a revolution.
Amid the renewed calls for justice following Mohbad’s untimely death, a disconcerting narrative has emerged— “The bullied and the bully” within the music industry and Nigeria as a whole. This revelation sheds light on the darker side of the entertainment world, where young artists often find themselves trapped between pursuing their dreams and the oppressive forces seeking to exploit their talents.
It underscores the urgent need for reforms that protect artists and individuals from exploitation while ensuring that cases like this are not brushed under the rug. As youth gather once more, their emotions run high, driven by a thirst for justice and an unwavering determination to usher in lasting change.
A candlelight procession in Mohbad’s honor took place in Lagos, symbolizing the collective grief and demands for justice. The event drew participation from famous Nigerian artists and celebrities, and the mourners marched to the Lekki Tollgate, reminiscent of the 2020 #EndSARS protests.
The police, while acknowledging the procession, emphasized that it was not a demonstration but a procession that concluded successfully. They warned against any disruption of peace and assured that those disturbing the peace would be arrested.
Social media platforms have played a pivotal role in rekindling the spirit of protest, with the hashtag #JusticeForMohbad gaining global traction, akin to the #EndSARS movement in 2020. These new protests serve as a potent reminder of the indomitable spirit of Nigerian youth and the pressing need to address the underlying issues that fuel such protests.
As tributes continue to pour in for Mohbad, his tragic demise serves as a rallying cry on both social and traditional media, locally and internationally, reminding the world that the voices of Nigerian youth cannot be silenced. Whether this chapter leads to meaningful reform remains uncertain, but one thing is clear—the spirit of resilience and hope continues to burn brightly in the hearts of Nigerian youth.

According to Nivo News, Commissioner of Police Danladi Isa provided the update on Friday during a briefing at his office, outlining the operational strategies and achievements of the Command during the period under review. He disclosed that 435 rounds of ammunition were recovered from suspected criminals and that over 200 suspects have been successfully prosecuted, with several jailed for various offenses.
The CP further revealed that 33 children who had been kidnapped or trafficked were rescued within and outside the state, with the suspects involved prosecuted and some already imprisoned. “We have sent a lot of people to jail. A clear message has been passed that it is no longer business as usual for criminals in Abia State,” Isa stated.
He highlighted that the state’s crime rate has declined under his leadership, attributing the success to support from Governor Alex Otti, provision of logistics, and collaboration with community stakeholders. Isa also noted that officers encountered non-state actors on several occasions, who were neutralized and disarmed.

According to Nivo News, the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF–NCCC) has arrested high-profile cybercrime suspects linked to a sophisticated Microsoft 365 phishing operation that targeted the email systems of major corporate organisations.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The arrests followed actionable intelligence received from Microsoft Corporation in the United States through the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which exposed the deployment of an advanced phishing toolkit known as RaccoonO365. The toolkit was designed to create counterfeit Microsoft login pages capable of harvesting user credentials and unlawfully accessing corporate, financial, and educational email platforms.
Briefing journalists in Abuja on Thursday, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed that the cybercrime centre launched a coordinated, intelligence-led operation in partnership with Microsoft, the FBI, and the United States Secret Service. He explained that investigations traced multiple cases of unauthorised Microsoft 365 account access recorded between January and September 2025 to phishing emails crafted to closely mimic legitimate Microsoft authentication portals.
According to police findings, the cyberattacks resulted in business email compromise, data breaches, and significant financial losses across several jurisdictions. Acting on precise intelligence, NPF–NCCC operatives conducted targeted operations in Lagos and Edo states, leading to the arrest of three suspects. Searches carried out at their residences yielded laptops, mobile phones, and other digital devices, which forensic analysis directly linked to the fraudulent activities.
Further investigations identified Okitipi Samuel, also known by the aliases “RaccoonO365” and “Moses Felix,” as the principal suspect and alleged developer of the phishing infrastructure. Police said he operated a Telegram channel through which phishing links were sold in exchange for cryptocurrency and hosted fake login portals on Cloudflare using stolen or fraudulently obtained email credentials.
The police clarified that there was no evidence connecting the two other arrested individuals to the creation or management of the phishing scheme. The Nigeria Police Force reiterated its commitment to protecting the country’s digital environment through the use of advanced technology, enhanced international cooperation, and thorough investigative and prosecutorial processes aimed at combating evolving cyber threats.
