Nigerian singer Azeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, has reacted to the news of his exoneration by the Magistrate Court over the death of his former signee, Aloba Oladimeji Ilerioluwa known as Mohbad.
Recall that on February 25, 2025, a Magistrate Court presided by Ejiro Kubenje in the Sabo area of Yaba, Lagos State exonerated Naira Marley and three others.
The Magistrate court said a new legal advice issued by the Directorate of Public Prosecution, Lagos, acquitted the singer and three others in the case involving the investigation of MohBad’s death.
Taking to his X account after the news, Naira Marley shared a verse from the Holy Quran, “And whoever puts all his trust in Allah, he will be enough for him. (65:3).”
“And ‘remember, o Prophet, when the disbelievers conspired to capture, kill, or exile you. They planned, but Allah also planned. And Allah is the best of planners,” he added on his Instagram story.
He also reposted a fan’s post, which focused on his trials and tribulations, emphasising that the truth would always come out.
“Could any of us carry the weight Naira bore? The world turned its back, his name dragged through the mud, yet he walked into the storm-head high, heart steady-returning home to face the justice system alone. No safety net, no outstretched hands, only the echo of judgment.”
Naira Marley faced severe backlash over the years after being linked to Mohbad’s untimely and mysterious demise in 2023, which was cancelled by most social media users. He also lost over 50,000 followers after the singer died.
