Abracadabra is one of the hits of Nigerian Naira Marley. However, it is not by magic that the singer-producer risks temporarily disappearing from the scene, but because of a dark musical-judicial affair: the death, on September 12, of one of his foals, the man named Mohbad. The 27-year-old singer died unexplained in Lagos and in circumstances that the police are trying to elucidate.
Mohbad apparently had a serious dispute with Marley’s production house, which led the ten police officers assigned to this matter to want to hear the boss of the Marlian Music label. It was to submit to their questions that Azeez Fashola (aka Naira Marley) returned from Europe on Tuesday by plane. He wanted to face the surge of accusations on social networks where everyone speculates and strongly suspects Marley or his team of being at the origin of this death.
Marley said he wanted to meet the police out of concern for “ truth and justice “. As a result, he is placed in police custody and we will know at the end of the investigation whether the “ bad boy » of afrobeat will find its way back to the stage or take that of prison.
