A Magistrate Court in Yaba, Lagos State, has granted bail to popular singer Azeez Fashola, widely known as Naira Marley, and Lagos socialite Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry.
The bail amount set by the court is a substantial N20 million, accompanied by three responsible sureties.
The legal proceedings in question were initiated following the arraignment and subsequent remand of Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and two others on October 6.
The charges against them were related to their alleged involvement in the circumstances surrounding the tragic passing of musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad.
