Shubomi, who is the sibling of the embattled musician Azeez Fashola, also recognized as Naira Marley, has expressed her concern regarding what she perceives as a violation of her brother’s fundamental human rights.

Earlier, a Magistrate Court ordered the detention of Naira Marley and his associate Sam Larry in police custody while the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death continues.

Concerned individuals on the internet have been demanding justice for Mohbad’s demise, pledging not to ignore the alleged injustice he suffered at the hands of Naira Marley.

Expressing her distress in an Instagram post on Saturday, Shubomi emphasized that there is no concrete evidence implicating her brother in Mohbad’s death. She believes that his prolonged detention is primarily to satisfy public opinion.

Shubomi further noted that keeping her brother incarcerated for an extended period without concrete evidence infringes upon his fundamental human rights.

She wrote, “Keeping someone who willingly traveled back to help in detention for nearly 30 days, with no charge, no evidence, no sufficient witness is a violation of his human rights. Keeping him in custody to appease social media and the internet mob is crazy.”

“If you have evidence against him for anything he’s been accused of, charge him! But if you don’t release him. It shouldn’t take this long for the investigation to be done.”

“We all want the truth! We all want justice. What is the delay? We’ve already lost one person, trying to lynch another is not going to bring about justice.”
