Naira Marley, a Nigerian musician and record label owner whose true name is Azeez Adeshina Fashola, has lately verified an important development concerning the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and the late singer, Mohbad.
Naira Marley was questioned about his involvement in Mohbad’s tragic end during an interview with Reno Omokri, a former advisor to President Goodluck and current journalist.
The arrest of Mohbad, which sparked controversy after a viral video in which Mohbad claimed that NDLEA had given him something to drink, was vigorously disputed by NDLEA before this revelation.
Naira Marley explained during the interview that he was abroad when the NDLEA detained his friends, known as the “Marlians,” at that time.
He described how he came back the next day only to discover that Mohbad had already been freed. Naira Marley went on to elaborate on his involvement in the incident, saying that he personally stepped in to obtain the release of Zinoleesky, a signee of his record label, as well as other artists on his roster who had been imprisoned by the NDLEA.
“Looking at the picture again, like I said I was out of the country.
I was getting the information from everybody that was there during the incent like I tried to send someone to the NDLEA before I got back.
I got back the next day. When I got back they said Mohbad was not there when I got back. So I had to, it’s only Zino and the rest that I had to bail out.
Mohbad was already out. It was that paranoia, it was when he was out, Zino was still in with NDLEA at this time”, he said.
This revelation shed light on his proactive involvement in supporting his team members during a challenging period.
