Nigerian rapper, Azeez Adeshina Fashola, popularly known as
Naira Marley, has said he would turn himself in to be investigated over
allegations linking him to the death of his former signee, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji
Aloba, aka Mohbad if the security agencies can guarantee his safety.
Recall that there have been calls for Naira
Marley to be investigated over Mohbad’s death for allegedly sponsoring hoodlums
to bully and threaten the late singer after he exited his record label, Marlian
Music controversially in 2022.
Speaking in an interview with Reno Omokri on Wednesday
night, Naira Marley said he was ready to submit himself for investigations on
the condition that his safety is guaranteed.
He said he has been out of the country since August 31,
2023, and only found out about Mohbad’s death on social media.
He said, “I was out of Nigeria from the 31st of August. I’ve
been with my family up till date. I haven’t been to Nigeria [since then] that’s
one.
“Two, He [Mohbad] has left Marlian Music since… I don’t know
the particular date but since 2022, he has left Marlian Music. We’ve not
stopped him from dropping music or anything. He has been working with one PR
[firm] or something like that ever since.
“So, when I heard about his death, it was shocking to me. I
was out of the country as well. So, I have to find out what was wrong with him
just as much as everybody is trying to find out. So, I’m just finding out what
was wrong with him online. I’m seeing all the lies too. But we’ve to focus on
the fact that: who was he with? How did he die?
“If you’re blaming me, how did I kill him? I have nothing to
do with his death or whatsoever. I was so hurt when I heard that. I’ve nothing
whatsoever to do with his death.”
Naira Marley added: “I am willing to return to Nigeria to answer
questions if the police can guarantee my safety.
“I don’t belong to any cult. I don’t know what a cult is. I
have been running away from all these people. I’m actually anti-cult.”
The police have launched an investigation into Mohbad’s
demise.
The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said he has
also invited the Department of State Services to join the investigation.
