The Lagos state police command has informed the public that “no underhand dealing” occurred during the autopsy on Mohbad’s body.
The 27-year-old musician died on September 12 and was buried the following day.
The circumstances surrounding his death have sparked debate on social media.
On September 18, the Lagos Police Department established a 13-member special investigative team to look into Mohbad’s death.
The governor of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has also involved the Department of State Services (DSS) in the continuing inquiry.
Last Thursday, the police exhumed Mohbad’s corpse for autopsy and are awaiting the results.
In a recent update, Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos state police spokesperson, said the autopsy was conducted “in the presence of family members”.
He also urged the public to remain calm while they await the results.
“As assured by the CP, the autopsy was promptly carried out, by some of the best forensic pathologists in the country, in the presence of family members,” he wrote in X.
“While we await the result, we urge everyone to remain calm and confident in the process. There is absolutely no underhand dealing, as feared by some concerned persons.
“In the meantime, other aspects of the investigation are progressing well.”
Idowu Owohunwa, the state commissioner of police, said the force would thoroughly examine every piece of information linked to Mohbad’s death.
Thousands of fans have protested nationwide while demanding justice for the late singer.
