Mohbad: Court grants Naira Marley, Sam Larry N20 million bail
Naira Marley (Azeez Fashola), artiste and Malian Records label boss and music promoter Samson Eletu (Sam Larry) have been granted bail by a Lagos magistrates’ court.
The court ordered the pair to provide three sureties, each with N20 million bail. They are expected back in court November 21.
As part of their bail conditions, the court directed them to surrender their passports and make weekly appearances at the State Criminal Investigation Department.
The presiding magistrate warned that any attempt to contact her directly would be recorded and disclosed during court proceedings.
The duo were nabbed and detained over their alleged involvement in the controversial death of popular artiste Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.
Mohbad, aged only 27, rose to prominence with the Marlian Records label. His tunes and unique style quickly garnered him a devoted following. The cause and details surrounding his death have yet to be disclosed after the police carried out an autopsy.
Notable among his chart-topping tracks are ‘Ponmo’, ‘Feel Good’, and the sensational ‘KPK’ (Ko Por Ke), a collaboration with Rexxie.
Meanwhile, Naira Marley and Sam Larry have filed a N40 million breach of fundamental human rights suit before the Igbosere Division of the Lagos High Court.
