A Magistrate Court sitting in Sabo, Yaba, Lagos State, has on Tuesday, acquitted popular musician, Abdulazeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, in relation to the death of Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, better known as Mohbad.
According to Channels TV, Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje, who read and implemented the legal advice issued by the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP), said that Naira Marley had no case to answer.
Alongside Naira Marley, the court reportedly freed music promoter, Samson Balogun, known as Sam Larry; Owodunni Ibrahim, also called Primeboy; and Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde.
The DPP, however, said it shall be prosecuting the auxiliary nurse who treated Mohbad, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, and one of Mohbad’s friends, Ayobami Sadiq for the offence of reckless and negligent acts contrary to Section 251 (e) of the Criminal Law, Ch C.17, Vol.3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
The duo will be prosecuted at the magistrate court.
