The African Foundation for Justice and African Television have announced a N50 million reward for anyone providing useful information that leads to the arrest of those responsible for the killing of Mohbad. They have also called on well-meaning citizens globally to support the Justice for Mohbad movement.
Larry Omodia, the CEO of African Television and the African Foundation for Justice, disclosed this information during a conversation with journalists on Wednesday at the Ikorodu Magistrate Court, following a coroner’s inquest into Mohbad’s death.
“African Foundation for Justice and African Television joined this movement of justice for Mohbad to support freedom of the press and make sure that Nigeria’s image is redeemed.
“We came to support DNA for every child. We offered to raise N10million in support of DNA for Mohbad’s child,” he said.
“African Television and African Foundation for Justice is here to announce our support to the efforts of the Nigerian police.
“We are therefore raising a N50 million reward for the person who will give us the information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators of the death of Mohbad.”
“You’re all aware of the demise of Mohbad. Precisely, eight months ago, the world was shocked when Mohbad’s wife took to social media and announced his death.
“From East to West, North and South, people around the world are crying, seeking to find, prosecute and convict the killers of Mohbad
“In fact, the quest by the public to make sure the killers are arrested has turned into a nightmare.
“We believe that the police are now looking in the right direction by questioning everybody that was around Mohbad within his last 72 hours on earth.”
According to him, a thorough investigation “of those people should bring us closer to what may have caused the death of Mohbad.
“If you have credible information, our lawyers are on the ground to help you get it to the right authorities. I encourage you to help Nigeria, help Mohbad, and help mothers and fathers crying all over the world.
“Let’s make sure that we give Nigeria and Africa the justice needed. Solving this case will improve our justice system.
“Our tourism will be encouraged, and Nigerians abroad will feel better and safe about returning or visiting Nigeria.”
Omodia assured that African Television and the foundation partners are ready to provide the safety of the person.
He disclosed that they are also organising a ‘Sing For Mohbad’ tribute concert coming up in September to keep Mohbad’s name alive.
