The Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed May 28 for the hearing of a suit seeking to compel the Nigeria Police Force to reopen investigations into the death of late Nigerian singer Mohbad.
The case is before Justice James Omotosho, who is presiding over the matter filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja.
⚖️ NGO Seeks Fresh Investigation
A non-governmental organisation, the Registered Trustees of Break the Silence Foundation, had approached the court requesting an order of mandamus to compel the police to carry out a thorough and impartial reinvestigation into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death in September 2023.
The group is also asking the court to direct the police to invite and investigate individuals who were last seen with the singer, including close associates and family members.
📌 Court Grants Leave for Legal Action
The court had earlier granted permission for the group to proceed with its application, directing that the Nigeria Police Force must carry out its statutory duties under the Police Act 2020.
It also ordered that all relevant parties, including senior police authorities in Lagos, be duly served with court documents.
