Controversial Nigerian musician and Marlian Records boss, Naira Marley has distanced himself from any involvement in the death of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba popular as Mohbad.
Mohbad died under very controversial circumstances on September 12, however, following his death, videos of the artiste being assaulted by people allegedly linked to Naira Marley and his associate Sam Larry surfaced online.
The video thus started a speculation that Naira Marley was involved in the death of the budding talent, while there have also been speculations that he is a drug lord.
In a reaction to the wave of negativity that has been trailing him, Naira Marley released a fresh statement in which he said that he had no hand, directly or indirectly, in the death of his former signee, Mohbad.
In the statement shared on his Instagram page this evening September 26, Naira Marley said he has not only been shocked by the passing of Mohbad but also by the ‘’lies and threats” issued against him.
He also said that he and Mohbad had their share of disagreements while working together but that it never degenerated into wishing each other death, adding that he has been out of the country since August 31 but is making plans to return following an invitation by the police who are currently investigating the death of late Mohbad. Naira Marley also said he is fully cooperating with the police team and has no reason to be a fugitive since he has no hand in the death of Mohbad.
Naira Marley said in due time the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death will be unveiled and the world will know the truth. He added that Mohbad left his record label in September 2022 and that his departure was well accepted. He dismissed claims that his label tried to stop Mohbad from working after he left.
On account of being a drug lord, he stated that he is not one and that claims that his record label is a drug cartel are untrue. He added that he has never fought Mohbad nor instructed anyone to bully or attack Mohbad.
