Mohbad: Lawyer defends Naira Marley, Sam Larry

Olalekan Ojo, a Lawyer to controversial Nigerian singer, Naira Marley, has said his client never bullied the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

Recall that the death of the late singer on September 12 has been followed up by a series of police investigations and a coroner inquest.

However, speaking in a video chat with social media personality, Daddy Freeze, Naira Marley’s lawyer said there is no evidence that his client bullied the late Mohbad.

He said: “As for Naira Marley, I believe very strongly that no matter how hard you look, you will not find a single incident where Naira Marley bullied him.”

Ojo said what transpired in a viral video in which controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, tried to bully Mohbad but was stopped by Zlatan during a video shoot was misinterpreted by the public.

The lawyer said Larry, MohBad, and Zlatan settled their issue and ate “Amala together after the incident”, adding that there is a longer version of the video which showed the trio together.

He recalled: “Sometimes in June 2023, he (Sam Larry) came to Elegushi beach and heard some musicians were shooting a musical video, so he wanted to see who they were. Remember that in that video, he said so it’s even you.

“That video is a nine-second video, and it will interest you to know that there is a longer version showing these guys eating Amala together after the incident.”
