Court Clears Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Primeboy of Involvement in Mohbad’s Death; Nurse and Friend to Face Prosecution
A Nigerian court has ruled that popular musician Naira Marley, alongside his associates Sam Larry and Primeboy, are not involved in the tragic death of late singer Mohbad.
The court’s decision has come as a significant relief to Naira Marley and his associates, who had faced intense scrutiny from both the public and Mohbad’s fans. The investigation into Mohbad's death had been marred by rumors and accusations, particularly after the late artist’s allegations of bullying and mistreatment by his former label boss, Naira Marley, surfaced before his passing.
While the court cleared Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Primeboy of any involvement, it also identified other individuals for prosecution. A nurse who had treated Mohbad prior to his death, as well as one of Mohbad’s friends, Ayobami Sadiq, will face charges of reckless and negligent acts. According to the court, their actions contributed to the singer's deteriorating condition before his death, and they are now required to answer for their roles in the tragic incident.
The ruling has sparked mixed reactions across social media and among Nigerians. While some have praised the court’s decision for bringing clarity to the situation, others have expressed concerns over the continued investigation into the roles of the nurse and Ayobami Sadiq. Many have raised questions about the medical and personal circumstances that led to Mohbad’s death, and whether those responsible for his treatment and care will be held fully accountable.
The prosecution of the nurse and Ayobami Sadiq is seen as a critical step in ensuring justice for Mohbad, whose passing has left the Nigerian music industry and his fans heartbroken. The singer had previously spoken out about his struggles within the industry, and his tragic death has sparked broader conversations about mental health, artist rights, and accountability within the entertainment sector.
As the case progresses, many Nigerians are calling for a thorough and transparent investigation into the circumstances of Mohbad’s death, and for all individuals involved to be held accountable for their actions. The ruling marks a significant moment in the ongoing quest for justice for the late artist.
