Prophet Moses Idowu charged on four counts
The first suspect, Prophet Moses Idowu, came to the attention of authorities after he showed up at the morgue where the singer's remains were being kept, reportedly claiming he had spiritual abilities to bring the deceased back to life.
While at the facility, Idowu allegedly filmed the body and shared the footage across social media without any permission from the family. The police stated that the act subjected the singer's remains to indignity and deepened the grief of those mourning him.
Idowu went further, allegedly publishing claims on social media accusing the singer's wife, Olayemi Elizabeth Damilola, and his manager of being responsible for his death, with no evidence to back the accusations.
He was subsequently arraigned on four counts: unlawful recording, publication of false information, defamation, indignity to a deceased human body, and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace. The court ordered that he be remanded at the Correctional Centre, with the case adjourned to December 2, 2026.

Oladapo Dunminimnun faces Facebook charges
The second suspect, Oladapo Joshua Dunminimnun, was arrested on Thursday, November 12, over a separate but related set of social media posts. This comes after rumours about Dunminimnun's arrest went viral.
According to the police, Dunminimnun circulated videos on Facebook pointing fingers at the late singer's personal assistant and other family members, alleging they played a role in his death. What made his conduct particularly aggravating, the command said, was that he persisted with the publications even after signing an undertaking that restrained individuals from making media comments about the deceased.
Dunminimnun was charged with publishing false news on Facebook, unlawful publication of defamatory matter, and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace. His case was adjourned to December 11, 2026 for further proceedings.
