The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking to compel the police to reopen investigations into the circumstances surrounding the death of musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad. Justice James Omotosho, in the judgment delivered on Thursday, held that the applicant lacked the legal right to institute the suit. The judge said the suit was devoid of merit and that the court would not be drawn into speculations without concrete proof. He stated that lawyers are bound to know the elementary principle of law and not flood the courts with frivolous and baseless cases. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that an NGO, Registered Trustees of Break the Silence Foundation, had filed the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/363/2026.
