Police grill Mohbad’s PA, Darosha over singer’s death

Published

on

Boluwatife Adeyemo aka Darosha who was the Personal Assistant to the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, has been interrogated by the Nigeria Police Force.

It was learnt that Darosha visited the Zone 2 Command headquarters on Thursday following a police invitation.

Also present at the meeting were Mohbad’s mother, Abosede and his father, Joseph.

The lawyer of Aloba’s family, Monisola Odumosu, who disclosed this to our correspondent on Saturday, said Darosha was invited to name those who instructed him to embalm the late singer in his home when he died on September 12, 2023.

Odumosu said, “The police invited Darosha and interrogated him based on a petition written and signed by Emmanuel Oroko of the Hillceetee Partners on the instruction of Mohbad’s father.

“He had visited alone earlier in the week, but was asked to return on Thursday when Mohbad’s father and mother would be present, which he did.”

Odumosu disclosed further that a statement was taken from Darosha in which he mentioned those who were present when the deceased was embalmed.

The lawyer added that the police had invited those mentioned in the statement.

“Those present at the residence of the late Ilerioluwa Aloba when the embalmment was done will appear before the investigation panel of the police.

“The local embalmment violates the Coroner’s System Law 2007: Section 48 of this law addresses the offences and penalties of tampering with a dead body contrary to Section 16.

“The police, upon interrogating Darosha, have asked all those mentioned in his statement to be brought in for further interrogation. When Mohbad died, there were allegations that he was given local embalming without authorisation from his father or a death certificate from any medical practitioner who could certify the cause of the death of the late singer,” he added.

Mohbad’s father had alleged that his son’s body was already embalmed and placed by the staircase when he arrived at the deceased’s home the day he died.

He made this known while calling on the police to intensify the investigation to unravel the cause of his son’s death.

Mohbad died on September 12 at the age of 27, with the circumstances surrounding his death sparking controversies on social media.

Mohbad, a former record label signee of Marlian Music owned by Naira Marley, left the label in February 2022.

The Lagos State Police Command inaugurated on September 18, 2023, a 13-man special investigation team to probe the death.

His death also led to the arrest of Naira Marley and controversial Lagos socialite Balogun Eletu, aka Sam Larry, amongst others.

The body of Mohbad was exhumed on September 21, 2023, for an autopsy to unravel the cause of his death.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, tweeted in September 2023 that an autopsy had been concluded and the police were “awaiting results.”

We reported that the toxicology test carried out to determine the cause of death of the late music star had been concluded.

The result had been sent to the pathologist who carried out the autopsy to analyse and interpret it.

In an Instagram post on Friday, Ozokwo described the “deliverance story” as “fake news”.

“Don’t say I said, saw, or did what never happened. Don’t carry fake news just to get views,” she wrote.

“Have a conscience. Life is too short, live it well. Disclaimer!!! I have nothing to do with any deliverance story going around social media.

“Those responsible will face prosecution. If you don’t see it on my verified platforms or hear it from me, then it is probably a lie.”

CCTV footage shows Diddy punching, kicking Cassie in 2016

Published

A shocking video from 2016 has surfaced online of Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs allegedly kicking, hitting, and dragging Cassie Ventura, his former girlfriend.

The hotel surveillance video, dated March 5, 2016, and obtained by CNN, captured multiple camera angles of the alleged assault.

In the footage, released on Friday, Cassie is seen in a black sweater with the hood up and duffle bag in hand calling an elevator in what the news platform reports is the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.

The music mogul is then captured chasing the singer down the hallway in a towel. Diddy catches up with Cassie, striking and yanking her by the hair while throwing her to the ground.

The rapper also kicks Ventura twice while she stays on the ground, picking up her bag and dragging her back toward the hotel room.

The incident appeared to have corroborated several allegations made in a now-settled federal lawsuit filed by Cassie in November 2023.

In the lawsuit, the singer claimed she was trafficked, raped, and beaten by Combs on many occasions over 10 years.

The lawsuit labelled the musician a “serial domestic abuser, who would regularly beat and kick Ms Ventura, leaving black eyes, bruises, and blood”.

Diddy denied the allegations, calling them “offensive and outrageous”.

The rapper and Cassie’s relationship began in 2007. They made their public debut as a couple in 2012.

The pair, however, broke up after a heated argument in 2018.
