The police in Lagos say Naira Marley has been taken into custody amid an investigation into the death of Mohbad.

Mohbad, born Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, 27, passed away on September 12. He was laid to rest the following day.

The circumstances surrounding his death have continued to stir up controversies on social media, with many music lovers pointing accusing fingers at Marley.

In October 2022, Mohbad alleged he was assaulted by Marley, the head honcho of Marlian Records, his former label. He also asked his fans to hold Marley responsible if any harm came his way.

Since Mohbad’s demise, thousands of Nigerians have called for the ban of Marlian Records, while nationwide protests have been held to demand justice for the singer.

On September 18, the Lagos police inaugurated a 13-man special investigation team to probe Mohbad’s death.

In a statement via X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday, Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos police spokesperson confirmed that Marley has been detained for interrogation.

“Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley has been taken into custody for interrogation and other investigation activities,” the statement reads.
