Popular musician Abdulazeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, was cleared by the Magistrate Court in Sabo, Yaba, Lagos State, on Tuesday in connection with the passing of Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad.
Channels TV reports that Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje, who read and implemented the legal advice issued by the Directorate of Public Prosecution, Lagos, said that Naira Marley had no case to answer.
Alongside Naira Marley, the court reportedly freed music promoter Samson Balogun, known as Sam Larry; Owodunni Ibrahim, also called Primeboy; and Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde.
The DPP, however, said it shall be prosecuting the auxiliary nurse who treated Mohbad, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, and one of Mohbad’s friends, Ayobami Sadiq, for the offense of reckless and negligent acts contrary to Section 251(e) of the Criminal Law, Ch. 17, Vol. 3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
The duo will be prosecuted at the magistrate court.
