The family of late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad, has issued a stern warning to Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi, urging him to refrain from organizing any protests at the upcoming court hearing.
Recall that Mohbad died under mysterious circumstances on September 12, 2023, and the death has continued to generate controversy to date.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reported that the veteran actor had called the public to stage a peaceful protest at the upcoming coroner’s inquest.
According to Fabiyi, if no progress is made after their visit to the coroner’s inquest, then they will focus on the first anniversary of Mohbad’s death as a future opportunity to continue the call for justice.
Reacting, the late singer’s family via their legal team, Monisola Odumosu, warned that staging protests within the court environment threatens smooth proceedings, adding that all activities must be conducted civilly to avoid contempt of Court.
The statement reads, “Anyone is free to do whatever they wants so far he or she does it within the confines of the law. The Constitution gives everyone the right to express his or her grievances.
“However coming within the court precinct is another issue entirely. They must not make noise. The business of justice in the Court must not be disturbed in any manner. Lest they be charged for contempt of Court.
“Our advice is that they should not disrupt the proceedings in the court in any form whilst they exercise their rights.”
