A Lagos Magistrate Court in Sabo, Yaba, has acquitted popular musician Abdulazeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, of any involvement in the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly called MohBad.
According to Channels TV, Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje, while delivering the ruling on Tuesday, upheld the legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP), which stated that Naira Marley had no case to answer.
Also cleared by the court were music promoter Samson Balogun (Sam Larry), Owodunni Ibrahim (Primeboy), and MohBad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde.
However, the DPP recommended the prosecution of the auxiliary nurse who treated MohBad, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, along with one of the late singer’s friends, Ayobami Sadiq. They will face trial for reckless and negligent acts, contrary to Section 251 (e) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The duo will be arraigned before the magistrate court in the coming proceedings.
