Nollywood actress and politician, Tonto Dikeh, has suggested that controversial Nigerian singer, Naira Marley, may have the support of influential politicians, following his return to Nigeria and subsequent arrest in connection with the death of his signee, Mohbad.
Lagos Police command spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed Naira Marley’s arrest on Tuesday night. In response, Tonto Dikeh took to Instagram to express her opinion, stating that in the right country, Naira Marley would be in handcuffs and chains instead of tweeting about his return.
She raised questions about who might be protecting Naira Marley and suggested that his confidence may be due to political support. Tonto Dikeh called on those backing Naira Marley to drop him and ensure that justice is served in the case of Mohbad’s death.
Tonto Dikeh wrote: “Look who has come back to NIGERIA to assist the police investigate why he and Sam Larry tortured Mohbadd. I ask again who is protecting Naira Marley? In the right country, Naira should be in handcuffs and chains, rather than having a phone to tweet. Naira Marley’s confidence looks to me like he has some top political underdogs by his side… Now one of the 2 things, you all better drop him and let him have the justice he deserves or we will start fishing your names out. Right now, we don’t care about ya’ll, we want justice for Mohbad.”
