Mohbad: Court Grants Naira Marley, Sam Larry N20 Million Bail
A Magistrate’s Court sitting in Yaba, Lagos State, on Monday, granted singer, Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, and Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, known as Sam Larry bail in the sum of N20m with three responsible duties.
Naira Marley, Sam Larry and two others were on October 6 arraigned and remanded over their alleged involvement in circumstances surrounding the death of a musician, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
The magistrate, Adeola Olatunbosun told the defendants to submit their passports and ordered that they are to report weekly to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti.
“As part of the bail conditions, the defendants are to surrender their passports and make weekly appearances at the State Criminal Investigation Department,” Olatunbosun ruled.
She also warned that no one should contact her directly on the case.
“Any attempts to contact me directly would be recorded and potentially disclosed in open court proceedings,” she added.
The duo were nabbed and detained over their alleged involvement in the controversial death of popular artiste Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.
Mohbad, aged only 27, rose to prominence with the Marlian Records label. His tunes and unique style quickly garnered him a devoted following. The cause and details surrounding his death have yet to be disclosed after the police carried out an autopsy.
Notable among his chart-topping tracks are ‘Ponmo’, ‘Feel Good’, and the sensational ‘KPK’ (Ko Por Ke), a collaboration with Rexxie.
Meanwhile, Naira Marley and Sam Larry have filed a N40 million breach of fundamental human rights suit before the Igbosere Division of the Lagos High Court.
More details later.
