Music star, Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, and his ally Balogun Eletu, better known as Sam Larry, have been remanded over the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, in Lagos, and was buried the next day.
However, many had accused the duo of having a hand in his death, an allegation that they denied.
Mohbad left Marlian Records, owned by Naira Marley on a controversial note last year, but his relationship with his former boss, remained strained after then.
The police had invited Nairam Marley and Sam Larry and obtained a remand warrant against them before a Magistrate’s Court in Yaba, Lagos, on Wednesday.
The court granted an the police request to have them in custody for investigation.
