The Magistrate Court sitting in Sabo, Yaba, Lagos State, has acquitted popular Nigerian musician Abdulazeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, in connection with the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad.
According to Channels TV, Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje delivered the ruling on Tuesday after reviewing the legal advice issued by the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP).
The court concluded that Naira Marley had no case to answer regarding the tragic incident.
Alongside Naira Marley, the court reportedly freed music promoter, Samson Balogun, known as Sam Larry; Owodunni Ibrahim, also called Primeboy; and Mohbad’s former manager, Opere Babatunde.
The DPP, however, said it shall be prosecuting the auxiliary nurse who treated Mohbad, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, and one of Mohbad’s friends, Ayobami Sadiq for the offence of reckless and negligent acts contrary to Section 251 (e) of the Criminal Law, Ch C.17, Vol.3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
The duo will be prosecuted at the magistrate court
