Mrs. Abosede Aloba, the mother of the late singer Mohbad, has alleged that both Sam Larry and Naira Marley played a role in her son’s death.
Abosede who is seeking justice asserts that Mohbad’s life was plagued by continuous troubles due to the involvement of Naira Marley and Sam Larry, who frequently caused him various issues.
In an interview with The PUNCH, the late singer’s mother revealed how the duo of Marley and Larry on various occasions had beaten MohBad.
“Mohbad did not know peace throughout his lifetime. He was always going from one problem to another in the hands of Naira Marley and Sam Larry. His manager was Naira Marley’s brother, and I did not like him.
“Every time I went there, I always told Mohbad to stay away from him, yet he was always sleeping on Mohbad’s bed. I told Mohbad to keep away from everyone associated with Naira Marley and should not work with them anymore. I had always been involved in my son’s life. Every curse that Naira Marley rains on me will return to him,” she said.
She also narrated how Mohbad told her of a conversation with Naira Marley in the middle of the night because he wanted to change his manager and how his ex-signee boss brought out something he wanted him to take.
According to her, “At that moment, Mohbad was scared, and he ran to the bathroom, from where he called me. I then called my pastor, who asked us to pray.
“Sam Larry beat Mohbad, complaining that he owed him money, but that is not true. My son confided in me.
“Naira Marley beat him up one time, and he ended up in the hospital. We had to use hot water to massage his body, and he could not talk for two days because he was seriously beaten. He even developed hypertension.”
She explained that when Mohbad recovered from the sickness, “Naira did not want him back in Marlian Music. He said he was spoiling their name; and Mohbad also did not want to go back. I went with the father to plead with Naira. That was the first time I went to the house. It was Joseph that was always going there. I want justice for my son.”
However, both Naira Marley and Sam Larry have denied involvement in the singer’s death.
However, the late singer’s mother called on the police to invite her, Mohbad’s father, his wife, Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Prime Boy to question them to determine who is guilty among them.
Mohbad died on September 12 at the age of 27 in Lagos State.
Following an investigation by the Lagos State Police Command to unravel the cause of his death, Mohbad’s remains were exhumed for an autopsy.
The autopsy results have not yet been released, but Naira Marley said he has been the target of “all manner of stories” since Mohbad’s death
