Police Arrests Naira Marley Over Mohbad’s Death
The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the arrest and detention of Marlian Records label boss, Azeez Fashola, better known as Naira Marley, over the mysterious death of his former signee, Mohbad.
Benjamin Hundeyin, Lagos police spokesperson, announced Naira Marley’s detention in a tweet on Tuesday night.
“Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley has been taken into custody for interrogation and other investigation activities,” said Hundeyin.
The development came moments after Naira Marley announced in a tweet that he has returned to the country to assist the police with their investigations into Mohbad’s death.
The singer said he will assist authorities in their bid to unravel the circumstances behind Mohbad’s death.
“I’d like to share that I’ve just arrived back in Lagos, Nigeria to assist the authorities with the ongoing investigation. It’s important I do my part for Imole. I’ll be meeting with the police with hopes for the truth to be uncovered and for justice to prevail,” he posted.
Naira Marley had earlier promised to return to the country to clear his name, though he raised concerns about his safety, claiming that the real culprit behind Mohbad’s death was trying to implicate him and have him “lynched”.
