Mother of the late musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, well known as Mohbad, Mrs. Abosede, has claimed that Azeez Fashola, better known as Naira Marley, and Samson Balogun, also known as Sam Larry, are both responsible for her son’s death.
Abosede calls for justice, stating that Mohbad never knew calm in his life as he was constantly involved in some sort of trouble thanks to Naira Marley and Sam Larry.
In an interview with PUNCH, the late singer’s mother described how Mohbad had been defeated on several occasions by Marley and Larry. Mother of Moh said:
“Mohbad did not know peace throughout his lifetime. He was always going from one problem to another in the hands of Naira Marley and Sam Larry. His manager was Naira Marley’s brother, and I did not like him.
“Every time I went there, I always told Mohbad to stay away from him, yet he was always sleeping on Mohbad’s bed. I told Mohbad to keep away from everyone associated with Naira Marley and should not work with them anymore. I had always been involved in my son’s life. Every curse that Naira Marley rains on me will return to him.”
She also described how Mohbad told her that he wanted to switch managers, so he had a late-night talk with Naira Marley, and how his former signee boss had brought out something he wanted him to take.
According to her:
“At that moment, Mohbad was scared, and he ran to the bathroom, from where he called me. I then called my pastor, who asked us to pray.
“Sam Larry beat Mohbad, complaining that he owed him money, but that is not true. My son confided in me.
“Naira Marley beat him up one time, and he ended up in the hospital. We had to use hot water to massage his body, and he could not talk for two days because he was seriously beaten. He even developed hypertension.”
She explained that when Mohbad recovered from the sickness:
“…Naira did not want him back in Marlian Music. He said he was spoiling their name; and Mohbad also did not want to go back. I went with the father to plead with Naira. That was the first time I went to the house. It was Joseph that was always going there. I want justice for my son.”
