How Naira Marley, Sam Larry ‘gave’ my son, Mohbad hypertension, frustrated him to death – Mum alleges

• Mohbad’s mother has continued to point accusing fingers at Naira Marley and Sam Larry, concerning the death of her son.
• Speaking in a recent interview, she cited instances from when Mohbad was alive, that made her come to the conclusion.
• Mohbad’s mother said Naira and Sam Larry’s constant issue with the late singer led him to have hypertension at such young age as they frustrated him to death.

Mrs. Abosede, the mother of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad, has alleged that both Samson Balogun, also known as Sam Larry, and Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, are involved in the death of her son.

Abosede demands justice, adding that Mohbad did not experience peace throughout his lifetime because the duo of Naira Marley and Sam Larry always got him into one problem or another.

The late singer’s mother, who spoke in an interview with PUNCH, revealed how the duo of Marley and Larry on various occasions had beaten Mohbad. Moh’s mother said:

“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 also narrated how Mohbad hinted 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.”

In September 2023 both Naira Marley and Sam Larry pleaded their innocence in Mohbad’s death.

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 the Director of Lagos State DNA and Forensic Center, Dr Somiari recently stated that the first set of Mohbad’s autopsy results will be released in three to four weeks.
