Police must deliver justice on Mohbad's death
The human rights lawyer called on the police to ensure their investigation is top-notch as they are expected to deliver on this case.
He urged them not to spare those persons in their probe.
His words:
"In the case of Mohbad, fingers have been pointed in the direction of certain persons. The police authorities and the Lagos State Government should not spare these persons in their probe. The investigation must be thoroughly done. Culprits should be made to face the music no matter how highly placed or connected they are. There should be no sacred cows.
"Beyond playing to the gallery because of public outcry, the police must deliver. Justice must be served. For social misbehaviour only abounds when justice is asleep. And this is dangerous for our nation."
