To add to dat, one legal representative for Mohbad family, add say di pathologist tok say "dem suppose don exhume di body within 12hours so e no go decompose bifor dem do di autopsy."

As all dis gbege dey happpun, di court later still grant di Mohbad family opportunity to do anoda autopsy to know di cause of death of dia son but na dem go bear di cost of di process.

Na di stage wey di whole case dey be dis.. as more witnesses still dey appear for di coroner court to tok wetin dem sabi for di death of Mohbad.

Wen dem go bury Mohbad?

Di father of di late Afrobeat star, Mohbad say im family bin dey wait for di DNA and autopsy result, bifor dem go bury di musician.

Now wey result come out, dem no gree for wetin di result tok and dem wan do dia own independent autopsy.

Nobody know wen dat autopsy and di result go comot.

Wit all dis gbas gbos wey dey go back and front, e no clear wen di bodi of late Mohbad go enta ground again for di final time.

Again, for 11 September 2024, fans bin come out for Lagos court again to resume protest to demand justice for late Mohbad.

Maybe na tomorrow dem go bury Mohbad, or na next month or next year- nobody sabi except di family as di bodi dey lie for morgue.

But one day, some day, dem go pay last respect to late Mohbad so e go fit go rest in peace.
