The scene at Lekki Tollgate where police dispersed attendees of a candelight procession for Mohbad on Thursday, September 22, 2023.

The procession to honour late Afrobeats singer Mohbad on Thursday evening ended in pandemonium as police dispersed youths who gathered at Lekki Tollgate in Lagos State.

Following last Tuesday’s passing of the 27-year-old under controversial circumstances, there has been public outrage with calls for a “thorough” investigation.

The official candlelight procession in Mohbad’s honour was held at Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island with federal authorities present.

However, several videos widely shared online showed several attendees scampering to safety as police officers shot tear gas canisters at the unrelenting crowd.
