A Magistrate Court sitting in Sabo, Yaba, Lagos State, on Tuesday, acquitted popular musician Abdulazeez Fashola, better known as Naira Marley, in connection with the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad.
According to Channels TV, Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje, acting on the legal advice issued by the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) Lagos, stated that Naira Marley had no case to answer.
In addition to Naira Marley, the court also cleared music promoter Samson Balogun, known as Sam Larry; Owodunni Ibrahim, also called Primeboy; and Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde.
However, the DPP announced that it would proceed with the prosecution of auxiliary nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe, who treated Mohbad, and one of Mohbad’s friends, Ayobami Sadiq, for reckless and negligent acts under Section 251 (e) of the Criminal Law, Ch C.17, Vol.3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015. The pair will face prosecution at the magistrate court.
