The Yaba Magistrate Court in Lagos State delivered the judgment on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, clearing the three of all allegations connected to Mohbad’s mysterious death.
Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Aloba, died in September 2023 under controversial circumstances. His death sparked outrage on social media after videos emerged showing him being harassed and bullied, allegedly by Naira Marley and his associates.
Following public outcry and demands for justice, Naira Marley and Sam Larry were arrested in October 2023 for questioning over their alleged involvement.
However, after months of investigation, the court ruled that there was no evidence linking the trio to Mohbad’s death, leading to their acquittal.
Reacting to the judgment, Naira Marley took to his X handle to express gratitude to God for clearing his name.
Quoting a verse from the Holy Quran, he wrote:
“And whoever puts all his trust in Allah, He will be enough for him. (65:3).”
The court’s decision has sparked mixed reactions from fans and the public, with some expressing relief while others continue to call for further investigations into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.
