The Magistrate Court sitting in Yaba, Lagos, has acquitted popular singer, Abdulazeez Fashola, popularly called Naira Marley, over the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, who was better known as Mohbad.
Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje in his ruling, said Naira Marley had no case to answer.
Alongside the musician, the court also freed music promoter, Samson Balogun, known as Sam Larry; Owodunni Ibrahim, also called Primeboy; and Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde.
However, the Directorate of Public Prosecution, DPP, will prosecute Feyisayo Ogedengbe, the auxiliary nurse who treated Mohbad shortly before he passed.
One of Mohbad’s friends, Ayobami Sadiq, will also be prosecuted for the offence of reckless and negligent acts contrary to Section 251 (e) of the Criminal Law, Ch C.17, Vol.3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
The duo are due to be prosecuted at the magistrate court.
