Sam Larry, Mohbad and Naira Marley
Nigerian singer, Abdulazeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, and Music Producer, Samson Elutu, also known as Sam Larry, have been granted bail after spending several a month in police custody.
According to reports, the duo were required to provide three sureties who would stand as guarantors, with a substantial sum of N40 million (N20 million each)
Additionally, Naira Marley and Sam Larry were instructed to surrender their international passports and to appear weekly at the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
The magistrate overseeing the case also warned that any attempt to contact her would be recorded and potentially disclosed in open court proceedings.
They became persons of interest after they were linked to the death of Mohbad.
Mohbad was a signee of Naira Marley and their relationship strained after the late artiste decided to break away from the record label in 2022.
The two celebrities and others were remanded by a magistrate court in Lagos on Wednesday, October 4, 2023.
The Lagos State Police Command had requested that Naira Marley and the others be remanded for 30 days pending the completion of their investigation.
Last week, they took legal action against the Magistrate and the Police, filing a lawsuit in the Federal High Court in Lagos. They named the police and the magistrate as defendants and are seeking N20 million each in damages.
This lawsuit has sparked numerous conversations, with some people showing support for their cause and others highlighting the fact that they were accused of murder, leading to their detention.
This report is developing, more details will be shared on the Intel Region WhatsApp group as soon as possible.
