The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking to compel the Nigeria Police Force to conduct a fresh investigation into the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Justice James Omotosho dismissed the suit filed by the Registered Trustees of the Break the Silence Foundation in a judgment delivered on Thursday, ruling that the organisation lacked the legal capacity to institute the action.
The judge also described the application as speculative and lacking sufficient merit, noting that the foundation failed to present the original police investigation report to substantiate its claim that the earlier investigation was inadequate.
Justice Omotosho further criticised lawyers involved in ongoing court cases for discussing matters before the court during media interviews or on social media.
He cautioned legal practitioners against such conduct, describing it as professional misconduct.
