Mohbad), civil society groups have expressed doubts about the police’s effectiveness in unravelling those linked to his death.
Already, the police announced on Thursday that an autopsy has been completed on the late artiste. This was confirmed via a post on the Nigeria Police’s official X account on Thursday night. Mohbad’s body was exhumed earlier in the week for that purpose. “Considering the actions, inactions and the body language of the police hierarchy regarding certain past and recent cases, additional questions would be: does service discipline still exist within the NPF?
Nwanguma in a statement sent to DAILY POST, took a cursory look at some cases that exposed the Nigeria police’s poor judgement and lack of investigative diligence. “Police have faced severe criticisms and public censure for their perceived failure or neglect to promptly intervene to investigate and take necessary action on the complaint of threat to life by Mohbad until he died in uncertain circumstances, with fingers pointing, among others, to the same people against whom he had petitioned the police alleging threat to his life.
“But, as a matter of fact, it is also the unwritten norm that the petitioner/complainant will have to also provide some ‘mobilisation’ to enable the police carry out an investigation. This is often excused on the grounds of official neglect, deprivation and unavailability of funds and other resources that the police need to do basic investigation.
“The Delta State Police Command has taken no known action against allegations of obtaining money by false pretence against Harrison Gwamnishu, a self-proclaimed human rights activist, despite a petition from civil society groups,” he said. “What can be more egregious and chilling than the crime of demanding a bribe to summarily execute a suspect in custody in order to permanently kill a case?” Nwanguma queried.
“Similarly, Mohbad’s death has catalysed a movement to expose the sinister dealings within record labels. I pray for a thorough and painstaking investigation by the police.
