The Lagos State Police Command has invited singer and owner of Marlian Records, Naira Marley, and popular socialite Sam Larry for questioning over the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.

The state commissioner of police, Idowu Owohunwa, disclosed this in an Instagram live session when celebrities led by actress Iyabo Ojo paid him a visit at his office in Lagos.

The commissioner added that they would be declared wanted if they failed to honour the invitation.

He urged those with the necessary information to aid the investigation to contact the police, promising that adequate protection would be provided for witnesses, including the family of the late musician.

Mr Owohunwa pleaded with those protesting the singer’s death across the state and those expressing their dissatisfaction on social media not to take actions that will jeopardise the investigation.

Mohbad, 27, died on September 12, a few weeks after he had petitioned the Assistant Inspector-General of Police heading the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Lagos, over threats to his life by Sam Larry and thugs who allegedly attacked him with guns, cutlasses and other weapons while shooting a video with Zlatan. Several videos where Naira Marley was accused of threatening Mohbad, his former signee, also surfaced after the “KPK” singer’s death.

However, protests have rocked several states, with fans demanding justice. 

Mr Owohunwa had inaugurated a 13-man special investigation team to unravel the circumstances surrounding the artiste’s death. 

Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat, on Tuesday, led a delegation to the mother of the late singer to offer their condolences.
