“Autopsy has been concluded. Awaiting result,” Hundeyin noted.

Hundeyin had earlier disclosed that the operatives of the Lagos State Police Command had exhumed the remains of the late singer for autopsy.

The Command had, on Monday, September 18, inaugurated a special investigation team to probe the death of the singer who died last Tuesday and was buried the next day.

It added that it had commenced a “full-scale criminal investigation” into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mohbad, a former signee of Naira Marley at Marlian Records.

Following the development, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, announced that a Special Investigation Team within the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) had been set up to coordinate the investigation.

Owohunwa noted that the team, which comprises seasoned homicide detectives, was tasked to “aggregate all allegations, suspicions and insinuations from various sources on the death of the singer and undertake a professional, diligent and timely investigation with a view to establishing facts, clearing all doubts and ensuring that justice is manifestly served through a meticulous process that will deploy all requisite protocols (which may include exhumation), as well as technical and scientific tools that are vital to the detailed investigation of homicide allegations of this nature.”

He stated that the Lagos State Government had pledged its support to the Special Investigation Team in all ways required to guarantee a diligent investigative exercise.

Also, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday, invited the Department of State Services (DSS) to join in the investigation.
