The Lagos State Police Command investigating the death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, professionally known as Mohbad has announced that the auxiliary nurse who injected Mohbad is the primary suspect, alongside the detention of Naira Marley and Sam Larry.
Lagos State Police Commissioner, Idowu Owohunwa, made this revelation during a press briefing regarding the latest developments in the case of Mohbad’s passing.
He also noted that Mohbad’s former employers, Naira Marley and Sammy Larry, are presently in detention.
Both are said to have denied having any connection with the death of Mohbad, but the police stated that a series of video evidence and witnesses’ statements prove that Naira Marley and Sammy Larry bullied and assaulted Mohbad, which may have contributed to his death.
During the briefing, it was made known that the auxiliary nurse, Fiyisayo Ogedengbe, admitted to injecting Mohbad with three different injections, which immediately caused reactions like vomiting, goosebumps, and convulsions.
According to the Commissioner, many of the 26 witnesses earlier questioned alleged that the deceased was indeed bullied and assaulted by Naira Marley and Sam Larry.
It was also confirmed that sometime in 2019, the deceased was allegedly signed by Naira Marley to the record label Marlian Music Ltd.
But due to disagreements in terms of the contract, the victim pressed for the revocation of his contractual relationship with Marlian Music while also pushing to relieve his then manager, who was a brother to Naira Marley.
Owohunwa stated, “It was also ascertained by some witnesses with corroborative video evidence that before the demise, Mohbad had raised alarm that life was being threatened and bullied by Naira Marley and Sam Larry.”
Upon the arrest, Naira Marley and Sam Larry denied allegations 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 events that occasioned his eventual death between the 10th and 12th of September.
