Lagos - Mediaage NG News – Following Naira Marley’s shared post on X (formerly twitter) that he was “meeting with the police with high hopes for the truth to be uncovered and for justice to prevail”, the Nigerian police have confirmed that the singer has been taken into custody in connection with the death of Afrobeats star MohBad.
Police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin said that Marley was being held “for interrogation and other investigation activities”.
On the 12th of September, 2023, MohBad died mysteriously at a Lagos hospital and was hurriedly buried by his family.
The death of the 27-year-old star triggered protests and calls for investigations from his fans, which led to police exhuming his body for an autopsy.
Fans particularly directed their anger towards Marley, who had signed MohBad under his Marlian Records music label.
MohBad left the label last year, after falling out with Marley.
Following his death, several videos of MohBad’s complaining about his relationship with Marlian Records resurfaced.
