In a landmark ruling, the Magistrate Court in Yaba, Lagos, has acquitted Nigerian singer, Naira Marley, alongside Sam Larry, Primeboy, and Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde, of any involvement in the death of late rapper Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Presiding over the case, Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje ruled that Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and others had no case to answer, dismissing all allegations against them.
However, the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) has confirmed that Feyisayo Ogedengbe, the auxiliary nurse who treated Mohbad before his passing, will face prosecution.
Additionally, Ayobami Sadiq, one of Mohbad’s close friends, will also be prosecuted for reckless and negligent acts under Section 251 (e) of the Lagos State Criminal Law, 2015.
The legal battle surrounding Mohbad’s sudden death has been one of the most controversial cases in Nigerian entertainment history, sparking public outcry and demands for justice.
As the case shifts focus to the nurse and Mohbad’s friend, fans and stakeholders are eagerly watching for the next legal proceedings, as authorities continue their investigation into the exact circumstances that led to the singer’s tragic demise.
