Naira Marley, Sam Larry granted N20 million bail in Mohbad case

In a hearing held at Yaba’s Magistrate’s Court in Lagos State on Monday, singer Azeez Fashola, widely known as Naira Marley, and Lagos socialite Balogun Eletu, also recognized as Sam Larry, were granted bail in the amount of N20 million each with three reputable sureties.

Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and two other individuals were arraigned and remanded on October 6 in relation to their alleged involvement in the circumstances surrounding the demise of musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, commonly known as Mohbad.

Magistrate Adeola Olatunbosun ordered the defendants to surrender their passports and mandated them to report weekly to the State Criminal Investigation Department at Panti.

Part of the bail conditions included the surrender of passports and weekly appearances at the State Criminal Investigation Department, as ruled by Olatunbosun.

She also issued a warning that no attempts should be made to contact her directly regarding the case.

“Any efforts to contact me directly will be documented and may potentially be disclosed in open court proceedings,” she emphasized.
