A monarch, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi, the Elegushi of Ikate-Elegushi kingdom, has urged the police to unravel the mystery surrounding the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, otherwise known as Mohbad.
The monarch spoke through his lawyer, Adepeju Omotayo, at the continuation of the trial of two suspects, James Adeshola and Awiye Azeez, on the claims of cyberbullying and defamation he suffered in their hands because of the death of Mohbad.
Omotayo said, “The revered traditional ruler is very on his position on this matter as he has continued to admonish all those seeking justice to do so responsibly and in accordance with the law.”
She pointed out that the monarch would not allow anyone, regardless of their status or position in society, to tarnish his good name and reputation.
According to her, Elegushi never met or interacted with Aloba, his wife or any member of his family and hoped this would put an end to the act of dragging him into the matter.
The monarch made it known that his desire as a father and a leader was to see the unraveling of the circumstances leading to Mohbad’s death. He told Mr Josiah Aloba, Mohbad’s dad, this when they met at the Zone 2 Headquarters of the Nigeria Police Onikan, where Mr. Aloba was invited to question him over unfounded statements and allegations against Kabiesi.
The trial of the two accused persons will resume on July 5, 2024, at the Federal High Court Ikoyi Lagos State.
