In a significant development, a Magistrate Court in the Yaba area of Lagos State has issued an order for the remand of singer Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, and Lagos socialite Balogun Eletu, alias Sam Larry, for a period of 21 days.
This decision follows an application filed by the Lagos State Police Command, seeking the court’s order to remand the duo for 30 days. The police are conducting an investigation into the controversial death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad.
Magistrate Adela Olatunbosun, presiding over the case, ruled on the application, directing that both Naira Marley and Sam Larry be remanded in police custody for 21 days. The court’s decision reflects a compromise between the police’s request for a 30-day remand and a potentially shorter period.
The controversy surrounding Mohbad’s death has drawn attention to the high-profile nature of the case, involving well-known figures in the entertainment and socialite circles in Lagos. The investigation aims to shed light on the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s demise.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the remand order underscores the gravity of the situation, with both Naira Marley and Sam Larry now obligated to remain in police custody for the specified period as the investigation progresses.
