Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police approves a petition submitted by the family of the late singer Mohbad, paving the way for a fresh investigation into his death.

Both outlets report that the approval moves the case beyond earlier handling and places it on a renewed footing for law enforcement review. Legit.ng adds that, following the IGP’s decision, the matter is assigned to Lagos State Police’s Special Enquiry Bureau.

While the overall direction is consistent across the sources—approval of a family request for a new inquiry—there are differences in emphasis. The Punch focuses on the IGP’s approval and the restart of investigative steps, while Legit.ng also highlights the specific bureau that will manage the investigation. Neither outlet, in the provided text, details the specific allegations, investigative findings, or timelines for the new probe.
