Music Artiste Naira Marley on Friday testified before a Magistrate Court sitting in Ikorodu, in the Coroner’s inquest seeking to unravel the cause of death of late Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Naira Marley, who joined the proceedings virtually, told the Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, that he signed late Mohbad on his record label, Marlian Records, to produce 4 albums, but until the artiste left, the 4 albums were not produced owing to constant disagreements between the artiste and his manager, Opere Babatunde.
Marley also denied threatening or molesting the late Mohbad, pointing to a police report which exonerated him of these offences. He claimed that the allegations that he molested Mohbad existed only in people’s imaginations.
When asked about the viral video made by the late Mohbad where he stated that Naira Marley and the entire Marlian crew should be held responsible if anything happens to him, the witness testified that Mohbad and his parents subsequently apologised for that video, which was made while the artiste was under the influence of drugs.
After listening to the testimonies, Magistrate Shotobi summoned Sam Larry to testify before the Coroner’s court on April eleventh.
