Mohbad’s Family Objects Yomi Fabiyi’s Call For Protest

The family of late singer Mohbad has rejected actor Yomi Fabiyi's recent request for a protest at the next court hearing.

According to reports, Mohbad died in strange circumstances on September 12, 2023. His body was later exhumed for autopsy at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital or LASUTH.

The toxicology study, however, revealed no substantial discoveries that could be linked to his death.  Mohbad's family rejected the report and wanted an independent autopsy.

In preparation for Mohbad's one-year anniversary, Fabiyi asked the public to peacefully protest the next court hearing.

He also advocated holding a peaceful protest on the first anniversary of Mohbad's death to call for justice.

Reacting to the actor’s call in a statement on Wednesday by a member of its legal team, Monisola Odumosu, the family warned that staging a protest within the court environment poses a threat to smooth proceedings.

The statement noted that all activities must be conducted civilly to avoid contempt of court.

The statement reads: “Anyone is free to do whatever they wants so far he or she does it within the confines of the law. The Constitution gives everyone the right to express his or her grievances.

“However coming within the court precinct is another issue entirely. They must not make noise. The business of justice in the court must not be disturbed in any manner. Lest they be charged for contempt of Court.

“Our advice is that they should not disrupt the proceedings in the court in any form whilst they exercise their rights,”
