Glamtush reports that Nigerian musicians, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido, Falz and Zlatan Ibile have joined the candlelight procession in honour of late Afrobeats singer Ilerioluwa Aloba popularly known as Mohbad in the Victoria Island area of Lagos.
This online platform recalls that the 27-year-old rapper died in Lagos under controversial circumstances and has since been buried.
Since his demise, Nigerians have been calling for a thorough probe into the circumstances surrounding his demise.
While there have been protests in some parts of the country, Thursday’s procession is to further call for justice for the late singer.
The procession started around 7:18 pm with hundreds of youths gathered in honour of the talented artiste.
A similar event is also taking place in Peckham Square, in Peckham, the UK. Participants were heard singing the late rapper’s songs in viral social media videos.
The procession comes hours after police authorities in Lagos State exhumed the rapper’s body for autopsy.
“Exhumation completed. Autopsy to commence,” the Lagos Police Command spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin wrote on his X handle.
The Senate has also waded into the matter with Senator Elisha Abbo visiting the singer’s family in the Lekki area of Lagos State. He assured them of the government’s commitment to getting justice over the matter.
