Street Hip Hop singer and rapper, Naira Marley must be experiencing excruciating pains and sadness as close to 250, 000 people have signed a petition calling for the ban of his record label, Marlian Records, over the death of former signee, singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as MohBad.
The death of the 27-year-old fast-rising singer, Mohabad, has generated controversy across the country and beyond as there has been intense demand for investigation to unravel the actual cause of his death.
It would be recalled that the Nigeria Police Force, Lagos State Command said it had commenced an investigation to determine the nature of Mohbad’s death and that the singer’s body might be exhumed from the grave for autopsy.
Following a petition of threat to life Mohbad submitted to the Lagos police before his death indicating that he was in a face off with Naira Marley, there have been mixed reactions to where the death of the deceased musician came from.
Also recall that Naira Marley said in a statement on Friday that though there were disagreements that led to the late musician leaving the record label, he never wished any harm whatsoever on him.
Naira Marley who spoke for the first time on Friday since Mohbad died on Tuesday said “that there are so many things that are left unsaid but the love for Mohbad was always there, adding that he is ready to assist the police in uncovering foul play around MohBad’s death”
However, a Change.org petition initiated by an anonymous blogger requesting that an investigation should be carried out on why Mohbad could not appear before the police after he was previously summoned over his squabbles with industry executives, has garnered close to 250,000 signatures.
The petition called for a thorough investigation of the Marlian Music brand and Sam Larry Elegushi, the music promoter.
As the actual cause of Mohbad’s death remains unknown, Joseph Aloba, his father, had revealed that Mohbad died after an auxiliary nurse was invited to inject him.
