MohBad was killed before he died; police investigation should be beyond his eventual death: ID Cabasa

Veteran producer and artiste ID Cabasa, born Olamide Ogunode, says the police’s investigations should look beyond the eventual death of Afrobeats singer MohBad.
“I am scared that we are getting so emotional that we are overlooking the real issues before MohBad’s death,” ID Cabasa said during a live video session on Instagram on Monday. “The justice system anywhere in the world does not answer emotions.”
ID Casaba, who had met “humble and “gentle” Mohbad through the deceased’s close friend Abiola ‘Bella Shmurda’ Akinbiyi, said people seeking justice should look beyond the events of the day he died but rather focus on the events leading up to the artiste’s demise to get justice.
ID Cabasa called on the police to thoroughly investigate the circumstances preceding MohBad’s death.
“Look at all the harassment videos, look at everything, look at the lies against him. I don’t want to mention names but I have a strong feeling that whatever is going on is deeper than what we are seeing,” ID Cabasa. “I urged the police to look beyond the day of death so that the real culprits can be brought to justice.”
The artiste added, “The justice I seek is not for the boy dying. It is more about the things that happened that killed the boy (Mohbad) before he eventually died,” referring to videos online showing MohBad being bullied and maltreated by Naira Marley, Sammy Larry and others.
