The Government commiserates with his family and fans. We feel the pains of losing such a talented and promising young man, who made a name for himself in a highly competitive industry. May The Almighty grant his soul rest and comfort his bereaved family and fans.

Following Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s directive, the Police in Lagos State have launched a major investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of the young star. A 19-man police panel has been asked to unravel the mystery of the musician’s death.

Further to this and to boost the investigation, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has invited the Department of State Services (DSS) to join the investigation and widen the dragnet with inter-agency collaboration and use of best in class technology to unearth the truth.

Mr. Sanwo-Olu has directed that all those who may have played any role whatsoever in any event leading to the death of MohBad be made to face the law after a thorough investigation.

Consequently, Department of State Services (DSS) has also joined the investigation so as to get justice for the youngster, his family and teeming fans.

The Government pleads with all those who may have vital information that may assist the investigation process to avail the investigating team with such. Government also appeals to the investigating team to guarantee the confidentiality and protection of all witnesses who may come forward with vital information or indicative evidence that may assist the process.

The government appeals to all friends and fans of the deceased to stay calm and refrain from making inflammary utterances and reaching prejudicial conclusions on this matter. Staying calm and following the process keenly will be our most solemn tribute to the memory of the departed talent.

Besides, the grieving family should be allowed to mourn their loss in peace.

It is, indeed, a difficult time for us all – the government, the family and MohBad’s fans. Any action that can aggravate the grief should be avoided.

The Police and the DSS have been admonished to brief the public on their efforts periodically.

Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu has inspected the ongoing 18.7 kilometres 6-lane rigid pavement Eleko-Epe Highway construction with some cabinet members.

The road was first constructed 40 years ago from Eleko junction in Ibeju Lekki to Epe T-Junction.

Speaking, the Governor assured that the first phase of the project would be completed by first quarter of 2022.

“With the pace of work, we are sure the contractor will complete this first phase by the first quarter of 2022 while the second phase of the project that stretches from Eleko Junction to Abraham Adesanya Junction in Eti-Osa will commence later this year.

“We are currently assessing the project from the 3km lane already completed and we are happy with the progress of the project, because the contractor works day and night.

“Residents along this corridor are also happy with the level of work done and are waiting on us to hand over this important infrastructure to them in earnest. The beauty of the work is that, it has reduced the journey time, even as the road is still being constructed.

“We are confident that when completed, the road will offer the residents the chance to travel to and fro smoothly, safely and journey time will reduce significantly,” the Governor said.
