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.
