Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has revealed that invesitigation into the death of Mohbad is still active and not closed yet.
Sanwo-olu said this in reaction to a journalist seeking justice for Mohbad’s death investigation.
The journalist said, ”If there was a huge outcry in Nigeria and the diaspora at the time, and people were almost calling for the heads of these people, which was going around all over social media that they were involved in this crime when Mohbad died.
Eventually, they were returned from other countries, and the investigation was conducted for a month. And we were told they were on bail as they were not found guilty.
After a month, the same people hit social media, flaunting themselves, holding their phones, and saying something like ”opor! opor!!” To me it’s a way of bragging.”
She also recalled how the governor gave her his promise three years ago on Sylvester Omoni’s case that they were working on it, but as it is, the case is as good as dead.
In response, Sanwo-olu assured that Mohbad’s case though inconclusive, is still very much active.
The governor of Lagos explained that the reason for the delay is that the Police are waiting for forensic results in order to build strong case.
He further indicated that the delay would not have been, if the forensic facility in the state was not destroyed during the end SARS protest.
” There are no emotions, it’s not emotional; people get killed, we see it every day; I don’t go to bed until 5 am.
“We will do the job and do it well; Mohbad’s case is still alive; the police are here, we keep treating it, and they had to take the forensic out. The forensic that we built, which is the best in the sub-Sahara campus; it was burnt down during EndSARS protest.
“We had to take the tests out; they’ve done all their reports. It’s until the result is back, that we can link the two together. There are people in detention as we speak; they have not been released. Let’s give a little credit when it is necessary.”
She narrated how citizens were really keen on knowing the culprits responsible for Mohbad’s death, pointing fingers at some people who travelled out of the country at first but later returned to the country, but after a month of investigation , they were bailed and declared not guilty of any crime.
