Mohbad: Reopen case, re-arrest me, Samlarry, others – Naira Marley tells Police

Nigerian rapper Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, has urged the Lagos State Police Command to intensify the investigation into the death of his former signee, singer Ileriuwa Oladimeji Aloba, aka Mohbad.

He made the call while recounting his side of the story about his alleged involvement in Mohbad’s death in a video broadcast via his YouTube channel on Tuesday.

While maintaining his innocence in the singer’s death, Naira Marley urged the police to re-arrest him, his associate Samsan Balogun, aka Samlarry, and all others accused of involvement in Mohbad’s death.

He demanded that a trustworthy officer be put in charge of the case this time.

“I came back to Nigeria to support the police because I can see fingers pointing our ways. So I had to come back so that they can actually have nothing to do with it and check whoever so that he can get justice,” he said.

“I was in Panti for two months. After I came out from Panti, I was fighting for my passport, they held my passport. I was like, it’s okay to question me [over Mohbad’s death], but there’s no reason to detain me. I haven’t seen him for over a year. But it’s okay. There was a conspiracy and gang-up to keep me there. As you can see, the group chat got leaked, they even mentioned the name of the officer in charge of the case in Panti. They were also talking about judge.

“If you ask me, I will tell the Police to arrest everybody again. Put an officer we can trust in charge,” he said
