Nigerian singer Naira Marley, whose real name is Abdulazeez Fashola, has been released by the courts regarding the case of Mohbad‘s death. Naira Marley, along with his friend Sam Larry, also known as Samson Balogun Eletu, was accused of being involved in the death of the young singer.
Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, died on September 12, 2023, at the young age of 27. Several fingers pointed at his former label boss, Naira Marley, his friend, Sam Larry, and Mohbad’s childhood friend, Owodunni Ibrahim aka Primeboy, among others.
Following the legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP), Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje declared that Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Primeboy are not facing any charges.
However, the court will pursue charges against Feyisayo Ogedengbe, the nurse who cared for Mohbad before he passed away, and Ayobami Sadiq, a friend of Mohbad, for acts of recklessness and negligence.
The court’s decision has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians. While some are relieved that Naira Marley has been cleared, others are concerned about the outcome of the case. What do you think about the court’s decision?
