Mohbad: Coroner Summons Naira Marley, PrimeBoy, Sam Larry

A Lagos coroner court sitting in Ikorodu on Friday summoned music stars, Abdulazeez Fashola, a.k.a. Naira Marley, Owodunni Eletu a.k.a. Sam Larry, and Owodunni Ibrahim a.k.a Primeboy over the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba a.k.a. Mohbad.

The Coroner Magistrate, Adedayo Shotobi, said the three listed people must appear before the court on October 25 to shed light on the incident and identify any individuals responsible for the tragic event that led to the death of Mohbad.

The coroner instructed the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, to ensure the presence of the music stars at the next adjourned date of October 25.

The Coroner’s Court has the duty of investigating the causes and circumstances surrounding certain deaths that are considered to be unnatural, Violent, or cases where the cause remains unknown.

The Lagos State Police Command had last week Friday revealed that there was a physical altercation between Mohbad and his childhood friend, PrimeBoy, in Ikorodu, which led to Mohbad’s death due to injuries he suffered during the fight.
The Lagos Police Commissioner, Idowu Owohunwa, who disclosed this during a press conference also announced the names of those apprehended in connection with the singer’s sudden death.

According to Owohunwa, PrimeBoy, who is among the suspects, attended Mohbad’s show in Ikorodu on September 10, 2023, accompanied by the singer.

“At the end of the show, Mohbad and Ibrahim (Primeboy) were engaged in a violent fight during which Mohbad was injured. The management of the injury subsequently resulted in his death, he is being treated as a suspect,” he said.

His former label boss, Naira Marley, and his associate, Sam Larry have been fingered by the police for being accomplices.
The police commissioner said, “While Abdulazeez Fashola (Naira Marley) and Samson Balogun (Sam Larry) denied allegations of criminal liability in the death of Mohbad and pleaded an alibi to justify their non-being complicit in the incident that occurred from 10 to 12 September 2023, there are ample electronic and credible witness pieces of evidence linking them to cyberbullying, a threat to life, assault occasioning harm, and conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace against the deceased in his lifetime.”

He also named an auxiliary nurse Ms Feyisayo Ogedengbe as the prime suspect in Mohbad’s death.
According to him, Ogedengbe who was invited by Mohbad’s friend, Ayobami Sodiq aka Spending, to inject the singer at his residence, administered three injections believed to have led to the chain of reactions that eventually led to the singer’s demise.

According to him, Ogedengbe administered “multiple and highly potent” injections on Mohbad that led to him vomiting and developing goosebumps.

He said Ogedengbe was unqualified to perform the role of a home nurse and did so in a non-clinical environment.
