A Magistrate Court in Yaba, Lagos, has cleared singer Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, and three others of any involvement in the death of fellow artist Mohbad.
Presiding Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje delivered the verdict on Tuesday, following legal advice from the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP).
The ruling also absolved music promoter Samson Balogun Eletu (Sam Larry), Owodunni Ibrahim (Primeboy), and Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde, of any wrongdoing.
The court stated that police investigations and submitted evidence showed the four men had no case to answer regarding Mohbad’s controversial death.
However, the DPP’s findings implicated auxiliary nurse Feyisayo Ogedengbe, who treated Mohbad, and his friend Ayobami Sadiq.
The case has sparked intense public interest, with many now awaiting further legal actions against the indicted individuals.
