Falana Requests Coroner’s Inquest Into Mohbad's Death A prominent human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has requested a coroner’s inquest into the death of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad. This request was contained in a letter to the Chief Coroner, High Court of Lagos State, on Monday. The letter signed by his daughter, Folakemi Falana, described the singer's death as "very tragic" and "mysterious". Sharing the letter via her Instagram account, Falana said, "Mohbad's death stings because despite the fact that he wasn't on my radar and I never met him or knew him personally, I heard he was trying to leave his Label. "Some of his friends reached out to me months ago for advice especially as they knew I had helped other artists negotiate leaving their record labels. "I told them I was happy to help and they could put us in touch but they came back to me saying they were handling it. I genuinely thought they had come to an agreement. So imagine my shock and horror finding out he was being terribly harassed and living in fear till his last day. "After speaking to some of his friends and relatives, I've written to the Chief Coroner of Lagos state to conduct a coroner's inquest. The letter was received and acknowledged today. We will continue to apply pressure till we get answers. "I know we can't bring him back but his loved ones deserve to know what happened to him. Mohbad certainly deserves justice."

Why My Picture With Tinubu Was Posted Late — Okonjo-Iweala The Director-General of the World Trade Organisation, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has explained why she posted pictures of herself and President Bola Tinubu at the financial summit in Paris late. She noted that she posted photos in the order received by her accompanying staff or colleagues. The WTO boss had on Friday shared photos with some presidents she met with at the event on Twitter. After she posted, netizens criticised her for not posting a picture with Tinubu. She, however, shared pictures with Tinubu and other presidents on Saturday. Reacting to the criticism, she tweeted, "Nigerians please relax! Re: Paris, Interesting attacks from both sides sadly show the depth of polarisation in our society. "I post photos in the order received by accompanying staff or colleagues. Reading more into it is unwarranted. Let’s unite to build our country not attack!"
