Massive crowd and heavy gridlock characterise the candlelight procession in honour of Mohbad.

News ToGo reports that the candlelight procession is currently underway in Lagos State to pay tribute to the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad. It began at the Lekki Phase 1 gate and is scheduled to conclude at Muri Okunola Park, where a tribute concert will be held in his honor.

Devoted fans and well-wishers of the late singer have gathered at the Lekki gate. They are marching with heartfelt songs and carrying posters and banners adorned with his images. Adequate security has been provided by the police to ensure the safety of the event.

Mohbad’s untimely passing has sparked widespread concerns, leading the Lagos Police Command to conduct an autopsy. The police, in collaboration with healthcare professionals, carried out the exhumation of Mohbad’s body in the Ikorodu area of Lagos.

Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the exhumation.

The 27-year-old singer had passed away on September 12, 2023. He was laid to rest in Ikorodu, Lagos State, the following day. His sudden demise led to various speculations, with some Nigerians pointing fingers at his former boss, Naira Marley, and music promoter, Sam Larry, as potential culprits.

In response to public outcry, Nigerians have called for justice, with protests erupting in Lagos, Ogun, and other parts of the country, demanding that the police investigate his death thoroughly.

The acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, ordered a forensic investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.

In compliance with the IGP’s directive, the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Idowu Owohunwa, formed a specialized team. The team included a pathologist, to exhume the body and conduct a comprehensive investigation into the singer’s demise.

Deeper Life pastor has dumped his ministry over Kumuyi’s support for Tinubu.

News ToGo reports that Ogueze Venitius Chinyerugo, a pastor of the Deeper Life Bible Church located on Nnobi Road in Nnewi, Anambra State, has tendered his resignation from his role as district pastor of the church. This decision is a result of what he perceives as the general superintendent and church head, William Kumuyi, endorsing President Bola Tinubu’s government, as evidenced by recent comments regarding the administration.

In a letter dated August 23, 2023, Chinyerugo expressed his deep concerns and announced his resignation due to a viral video in which the church’s general superintendent ventured into politics by expressing support for the Tinubu administration, which Chinyerugo believed had caused hardships for Nigerians.

Chinyerugo’s resignation letter, addressed to the regional overseer of the Deeper Life Bible Church, explained his decision. He mentioned feeling devastated, humiliated, and disappointed after witnessing the video where Kumuyi urged Nigerians to support the government and its ministers based on their alleged past performance.

He highlighted that Kumuyi’s past teachings had emphasized staying clear of political matters, and his recent involvement in endorsing the current administration contradicted those principles. Chinyerugo pointed out that Kumuyi had also made a controversial visit to then-President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.

Furthermore, Chinyerugo questioned the moral basis for the administration to fight corruption and the quality of the ministers in the government. He expressed his disappointment and concern for the church’s reputation in the face of public criticism.

Chinyerugo concluded by emphasizing the need for leaders to be righteous and God-fearing, as outlined in 2 Samuel 23:3. He suggested that supporting leaders should be conditional on their righteousness and a legitimate mandate, rather than mere prayers for their transformation.

He stated his intention to share this message through social media channels if it doesn’t reach Kumuyi through official channels, unless Kumuyi addresses the concerns raised.

Chinyerugo’s resignation reflects his personal beliefs and convictions regarding the church’s stance on political matters and its alignment with specific political figures and administrations.

The NNPC Limited Group Chief Executive Officer, GCEO, Mele Kyari had on different occasions stated that Nigerians now buying fuel at the real price which is decided by market forces. He added that it could go higher or lower depending on the market forces.

But Musa explained that he has decided to sell his own fuel at N580. His tweet about the price triggered reactions and excitement among social media users on Twitter. However, he stood his ground on the price. As it stands now, many people would go Musa’s fuel station, MYCA7 in Kano, to buy at a cheaper price since many other stations in the North sell higher.
