Court Clears Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Prime Boy in Mohbad’s Death Case
Months after the tragic passing of Nigerian singer Mohbad, a Yaba Magistrate Court in Lagos has officially cleared Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Prime Boy of any wrongdoing related to his death. The court’s decision follows legal advice from the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP), which stated that the three individuals had no case to answer regarding the circumstances of Mohbad’s demise.
Delivering the ruling, Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje confirmed that there was no evidence linking Naira Marley, Sam Larry, or Prime Boy to Mohbad’s death. The legal scrutiny surrounding the trio began after social media outrage and allegations suggesting that they played a role in the late singer’s untimely passing. However, after thorough investigations, the court found no grounds to prosecute them.
Who Will Face Prosecution?
While Naira Marley and the others have been cleared, the DPP’s findings identified two key individuals who will now face legal action. Feyisayo Ogedengbe, the auxiliary nurse who allegedly administered a lethal injection to Mohbad, and Ayobami, a friend of the late singer, have been charged with reckless and negligent acts under Section 251 (e) of the Lagos State Criminal Law, 2015.
The court’s decision shifts the focus of the case, highlighting that medical negligence may have played a more significant role in Mohbad’s death than initially assumed. The ruling suggests that Ogedengbe’s medical actions were not only questionable but also a direct cause of the tragic incident.
Public Reaction and Next Steps
The news of the court’s ruling has sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians. While some believe justice is being served based on available evidence, others argue that there are still unanswered questions regarding the events leading up to Mohbad’s death. Many fans of the late singer are still demanding a more in-depth probe into the case, particularly regarding the alleged harassment Mohbad faced before his passing.
With the legal focus now on Ogedengbe and Ayobami, the next step in the case will be their prosecution, which could provide further clarity on what really happened in Mohbad’s final moments.
For now, Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Prime Boy can move forward, as the court has officially ruled out their involvement. However, the legal battle over Mohbad’s death is far from over, and Nigerians will be closely watching how the case unfolds.
