Mohbad: Court Clears Naira Marley, Sam Larry, says they had no hands in singer’s death

A Magistrate Court in Sabo, Yaba, Lagos, has ruled that popular musician Abdulazeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, and socialite Sam Larry had no involvement in the death of singer Aloba Oladimeji Ilerioluwa, popularly called Mohbad.

The court’s decision, delivered on Tuesday, follows months of speculation and legal proceedings surrounding the controversial case.

Reading the legal advice of the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP), Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje declared that Naira Marley had no case to answer. The ruling also cleared Owodunni Ibrahim (Primeboy) and Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde, of any wrongdoing in connection to the singer’s demise.

However, the DPP recommended the prosecution of the auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, and Mohbad’s friend, Ayobami Sadiq, for reckless and negligent acts contrary to Section 251 (e) of the Criminal Law, Ch C.17, Vol.3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
