Mohbad’s family frown at Yomi Fabiyi’s call for protest

• Mohbad’s family has reacted to movie actor and producer, Yomi Fabiyi’s call for protest regarding the late singer’s death.
• Recall Mohbad passed away under mysterious circumstances on September 12, 2023.
• The actor asked the public to turn up in court for the next proceedings as well as on Mohbad’s death anniversary.

The family of the late singer Mohbad has kicked against the recent call by actor Yomi Fabiyi for a protest at the next court hearing.

Recall Mohbad passed away under mysterious circumstances on September 12, 2023.

His body was later exhumed for an autopsy at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH.

The toxicology report, however, revealed no significant findings that could be attributed to his death.

Rejecting the report, Mohbad’s family demanded an independent autopsy.

Yomi Fabiyi in preparation for Mohbad’s one year anniversary, urged the public to peacefully protest at the upcoming court hearing.

He also proposed that a peaceful protest should be organized for the first anniversary of Mohbad’s death to further press 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 protest within the court environment poses threat to smooth proceedings.

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

“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,”
