The police have arrested one person in connection to the death of Nigerian singer, Mohbad. According to an actor Iyabo Ojo, the police apprehended the nurse who injected the singer before his death.

“They (police) are going to do the autopsy… they have made some arrests,” she said.

The state police commissioner Idowu Owohunwa said, during a press briefing on Wednesday, that the force would thoroughly examine every piece of information, person, or place linked to Mohbad’s death.
Owohunwa also said the police would seek the help of the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol), if persons of interest in the case are not in Nigeria.
The late singer’s fans are grieving over his untimely passing and equally calling for a probe. Davido, the Afrobeats singer, had announced he would return from his UK travel to join partake in a candlelight procession to held in Mohbad’s honour.
Mohbad was 27 years at the time of his death. He was survived by his wife and son.
The singer’s death had sparked anger as videos of him being harassed by socialite Sam Larry continue to do rounds on the internet.
