Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi has called for a nationwide protest on February 27th, demanding justice for the late singer Mohbad, who passed away under mysterious circumstances in September 2023.
This was made known in a recent video made by the actor during the weekend.
Fabiyi, who has been seeking answers about Mohbad’s death, urged Nigerian youths to join him in a peaceful demonstration, emphasizing the importance of standing up for justice.
He warned that failure to take action could lead to the investigation being buried and embolden perpetrators, urging everyone to come out on February 27th to demand accountability.
Mohbad’s passing on 12 September 2023, cast the world’s spotlight on Ikorodu, his hometown, where he was hurriedly buried barely 24 hours after his mysterious death.
Since then, mourners, particularly his fans, have been at a loss, seeking closure. But the talented, promising singer’s death wasn’t the end of his time in the public eye.
Although a talented act, the singer found renewed fame in death, something he longed for in his lifetime.
Though the circumstances surrounding his death remain sketchy, a year after, there are indications that the singer was not only a victim of intimidation, bullying and assault but might have sunk deep into depression even at his death.
Shockingly, Mohbad’s songs reflect his real-life dilemma, as his lyrics foretold his death and the events after that and revealed some cryptic messages about his life’s struggles. Mohbad is best known for his hit singles Ponmo, Feel Good, and KPK (Ko Por Ke) with Rexxie.
