On Tuesday, hundreds of protesters rallied in Abeokuta, Ogun State, and Akure, the Ondo State capital, seeking justice for the late singer.
The Afrobeat singer died last Tuesday aged 27 under what many termed mysterious circumstances, prompting the acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokun, to order a “thorough” probe by the Lagos State Police Command.
Protesters came out en masse in some areas of Lagos State with one of the protests starting from the Alagbado axis of AIT Road and moving to the Command area, then to Ile-Iwe in Meiran.
The rallies went on amid tight security, with at least four police patrol vans loaded with armed officers accompanying the protesters.
Over 200 youths were clad in black tops with placards of different inscriptions seeking justice for Mohbad.
There were also similar protests in Warri, Delta State.

In Osogbo, the Osun State capital, thousands of youths, yesterday, thronged major roads in the city demanding the arrest and prosecution of those suspected to be behind Mohbad’s death.
The youths, dressed in black, walked from the Dele Yes Sir area of the state, through Dada Estate, Oke-Fia, Alekuwodo, Olaiya, and MDS to Freedom Park singing solidarity songs to mourn the deceased.
The protesters, who gathered at the park where they lit candles, sang different Mohbad songs and cursed owners of the Malian record label.
Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, said on Wednesday that Omowunmi, wife of deceased musician, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, visited him to demand justice for her late husband.
Exclusive dispatch reports that the late musician, who passed away on September 12, 2023, was buried a day later.
Following his death, there have been calls for investigations to unravel the circumstances behind the musician’s death. Falana stated that he visited the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Idowu Owohunwa, adding that he  had been assured that investigation had been launched.
