What followed his death added layers of controversy that remain unresolved. Mohbad was initially laid to rest in Ikorodu, Lagos, but his body was later exhumed to allow for an autopsy as part of a broader investigation into how he died.

That forensic process became central to an inquiry session and drew sustained public attention.

Since the exhumation, the question of when and where he would be reburied has remained unanswered, entangled in disputes between family members and wider allegations involving those who were part of his professional and personal circles.

For many of his fans, the fact that the singer has not been given a final resting place three years after his death is a source of deep frustration.
