Police in Nigeria have identified a nurse as the “principal suspect” in the mysterious death of a Nigerian Afrobeat star which triggered dayslong protests demanding justice.
People hold candles during a minute of silence during a protest at a park in Lagos, Nigeria, Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023, to demand justice for Afrobeat star Mohbad following his mysterious death. Thousands marched across Nigeria on Thursday over the mysterious death last week of an Afrobeat star whose body has been exhumed for an autopsy as authorities investigate the cause of his demise.
Widely known as one of Nigeria’s fastest-rising young pop stars, Aloba was confirmed dead at a Lagos hospital in unclear circumstances. Questions about the cause of his death prompted protests, rallies and grief spilling onto the streets across the West African nation. The outrage over the singer's death was also directed at Naira Marley, his former boss and controversial musician currently on trial in Nigeria for alleged internet fraud.
The police said that its investigation found that doses of some drugs administered to Aloba by the nurse “immediately and directly triggered the reactions that eventually resulted in the singer’s death.”
