Confirming this development, on Thursday, September 14, the spokesperson for the Lagos Annex of the FCID, Oluniyi Ogundeyi, said the late rapper failed to show up at their office to defend his petition and continue the process of prosecuting the accused.

He said the police could not go further in the case due to Mohbad's refusal to appear at their office to defend his petition and tender evidence to support his allegations.

Ogundeyi said:

“We received the petition, and followed up on the information provided in the petition, and the suspects were invited.

"But Mohbad refused to show up to defend his petition and also provide evidence to assist the police in carrying out a proper investigation and forward the matter to the legal department for prosecution, if necessary.
