Mohbad: Naira Marley in police net
The Lagos State Police Command on Tuesday night stated that it had arrested controversial musician Azeez Fashola, alias Naira Marley, for his involvement with the death of his erstwhile record label signee, Ilerioluwa Aloba, alias Mohbad.
According to the Lagos State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, “Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, has been taken into custody for interrogation and other investigation activities.”
Naira Marley had earlier announced his coming to Lagos to aid in the ongoing investigation into Mohbad’s death in a tweet on Tuesday night, saying that he would be meeting with police.
He said, “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.”

Last Friday, a coroner’s inquest into Mohbad’s death began in the Lagos State Magistrate’s Court in Ikorodu.
