Naira Marley points accusing fingers amid increasing backlash over alleged complicity in Mohbad’s death
In an attempt to deflect attention from himself over the controversy surrounding the death of musician Mohbad, Marlian Record boss Naira Marley has turned to his fans for answers.
In the late hours of Friday, Naira Marley posted on his Instagram status: “Hey guys I’ve been shattered, don’t even know what to type since, I’ve been so hurt walahi, But guys let’s do this for Mohbad. I know the internet can.”
He urged his fans to help him “shed light into this matter for Imole. Where did he go? Who took him there? Who are the people he was with? Who was he last seen with?
“What was the nurse treating? Who is the nurse? Why was there no autopsy? Where did the nurse treat him? Who took him to the nurse?
“Why was he buried so quick in that manner? Who’s the guy in the car with his lifeless body? Who paid instablog to say ear infection first?”
He accused faceless persons of “paying blogs” and “bullying people to delete posts” that showed what happened on the day Mohbad died.
Naira Marley also accused Mohbad’s friends of knowing “exactly what happened to him”.
Following Mohbad’s death, Naira Marley and his best friend, Sam Larry, have faced death threats from the late Mohbad’s fans who accuse them of bullying the former Marlian signee until his dying days.
Series of videos that surfaced online before and after Mohbad’s death show Sam Larry leading others to repeatedly attack the late musician.
The consistent attacks had prompted Mohbad while he was alive to petition the Nigerian police in Lagos over threat to his life by Sam Larry and others.
In the petition received by the Lagos police command, which they failed to act on, Mohbad pleaded with the police to save his life.
In the Friday statement, Naira Marley described Mohbad as “Someone who was more than an artist or signee but a brother and dear friend” and whose passing “has left us with a permanent hole in our hearts.”
However, several accounts of the rift between the late Mohbad and his former record label, tells a different story from the one that Naira Marley claimed existed.
