A Magistrate Court in Yaba, Lagos, has ruled that singer Naira Marley, his associate Sam Larry, and Primeboy had no involvement in the death of Mohbad.

The court discharged and acquitted them after reviewing the legal advice from the Lagos Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP).

According to Channels TV, Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje stated that the trio had no case to answer regarding the singer’s tragic passing.

However, the DPP has decided to prosecute an auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, and one of Mohbad’s friends, Ayobami Sadiq, for reckless and negligent actions. They will face trial under Section 251 (e) of Lagos State’s Criminal Law.

Mohbad, whose real name was Aloba Oladimeji IleriOluwa, died under unclear circumstances on September 12, 2023. After his death, Naira Marley and Sam Larry were accused of bullying him while he was alive, leading to their arrest and court appearance.

With the latest ruling, the focus now shifts to the trial of the nurse and Mohbad’s friend as investigations continue into what caused his tragic death.
