Mohbad: I’ll return to Nigeria if my safety is guaranteed, says Naira Marley

Naira Marley, the Marlian Records head honcho, says he will return to Nigeria for interrogation if the police can guarantee his safety.

Mohbad, the former Marlian Records signee, died on September 12 and was buried the next day.

Marley is one of the persons of interest in the death of Mohbad.

On Tuesday, the record label boss said he would honour the police invitation to assist in the ongoing investigation of Mohbad’s death. He also insisted that “I have no hand in Mohbad’s death”.

In a recent chat with Reno Omokri, Marley said he was aware that Mohbad “was in danger from people around me but not from me”.

The music label head also expressed concerns that the “mob has been poisoned by the media against me”.

Marley said he will only return to the country if the police guarantee his safety. He also denied any involvement in cult activities.

“There are a lot of angry mob that do not really want my head. I have been poisoned enough by the media so if they can guarantee my safety, I will be there,” he said.

“I personally believe that he was actually stressed as much as he needed help. I believe he had been bullied. There were people on his neck. There were people all over him that were in danger, but he was just not in danger from us.

“If he was in danger from me, if anybody is scared of me, you will see nobody is gonna come out on videos doing all of this. I do not belong to any cult whatsoever. I have not been in Nigeria since like 2019. From England, I do not know what is cultism.

“I have been wandering away. There are so many times in Lagos, I have been getting away from it. I am actually anti-cultist. I am against it. Because of so many times, they have tried to force me into it, but thank God, they have never succeeded in doing it.”

The Marlian Records label boss earlier said although they had “disagreements, no harm whatsoever was wished on Mohbad”.
