The Lagos State Police Command has released updates that witnesses testified on how Abdulazeez Adesina Fasola aka Naira Marley and his gang bullied Illerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba aka MohBad before he died.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the Lagos State Police Command gave the update with respect to the ongoing investigation into Mohbad’s demise in a press briefing on Friday afternoon.
Recall that Mohbad died on September 12 at the age of 27. His death has since become a subject of controversy.
According to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, many of the witnesses listed in Mohbad’s death alleged that the deceased was indeed bullied and assaulted several times by Naira Marley, Sam Larry and their gangs before the budding singer died.
“Many of the witnesses earlier listed alleged that the deceased was indeed bullied and assorted several times by Naira Marley and Sam Larry and their gangs.
“It was affirmed that sometime in 2019 the deceased was allegedly signed by Naira Marley into his record label known as Marlian Music Limited.
“Due to disagreement in terms of the contract, the deceased pressed for the revocation of his contractual relationship with the Marlian Music while also pushing to relieve his then manager, who was brother to Naira Marley.
“It was alleged that these moves peeved the suspects who in consequence allegedly severally conspired, bullied, and assaulted the deceased.
“It was also asserted by some witnesses with corroborative video evidence that before his demise MohBad had raised alarm that his life was been threatened, that he was been bullied and assaulted by Naira Marley and Sam Larry.
“Upon the arrest, Abdulazeez Adesina Fasola, Naira Marley and Samson Erinfolami Balogun, Sam Larry denied the allegation of complicity in the death of MohBad by pleading an alibi that they were both out of the country when the incident occurred and were not in any manner involved in the chain of the event that occasioned his eventual death between 10th to 12th September 2023.
“However, there is preponderant evidence linking both Naira Marley and Sam Larry to the allegation of threat to life, cyberstalking, and sundry crimes committed against MohBad in his lifetime and they are been so held liable.
“From the investigation so far conducted, it has been established as follows;
“The chain of events that directly and specifically led to the death of Illerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba aka MohBad occurred between the 10th to 13th of September 2023, and the location stretched over Ikorodu and Lekki, Lagos.
“Feyisayo Ogedengbe, Female, who is an auxiliary nurse administered multiple and highly potent injections which triggered an immediate reaction that eventually occasioned the death of Mohbad,” Owohunwa said.
