The objective of the investigation, it said, is to establish facts, “clearing all doubts and ensuring that justice is manifestly served through a meticulous process that will deploy all requisite protocols (which may include exhumation), as well as technical and scientific tools that are vital to the detailed investigation of homicide allegations of this nature.”
It has been reported that the police chief has established a Special Investigation Team within the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) to oversee and manage the investigation.
The team, reportedly consisting of experienced homicide detectives, has been assigned the responsibility of collecting and examining all allegations, suspicions, and insinuations from various sources regarding the singer’s death.
“Their mandate is to conduct a thorough, professional, and prompt investigation.
“In aid of this initiative, the Lagos State Government has pledged its total support to the Special Investigation Team in all ways required to guarantee a diligent investigative exercise,” the police noted.
“Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu gave this assurance while consulting with the State Commissioner of Police earlier today on how best to ensure that the case is expeditiously investigated and justice delivered promptly.”
