Thelagostimes gathered that the exhumation was carried out at the singer’s graveside in the Gberigbe area of Ikorodu in conjunction with some health officials.

Recall that on Monday, police authorities in Lagos inaugurated a 13-man committee to probe Mohbad’s death. The state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu also asked the Department of State Services (DSS) to join the investigation.

Mohbad, a 27-year-old singer, died on September 12, 2023.

Following his death, there have been allegations of assault on Mohbad by Naira Marley and his crew, with Nigerians demanding justice and calling on the authorities to conduct a thorough probe into the matter.
