Naija News reports that on November 6, a Magistrate’s Court sitting in Yaba, Lagos State, granted Naira Marley and Sam Larry bail in the sum of N20 million with three sureties.

The duo were arraigned and remanded on October 6 over their alleged involvement in circumstances surrounding the death of a famous singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

The magistrate, Adeola Olatunbosun, told the defendants to submit their passports and ordered that they report weekly to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti.

On September 12 2023,  MohBad died in Lagos at the age of 27. The nurse who administered a Tetanus vaccine on him was arrested and found to be an unlicensed nurse on September 19 2023, by the Lagos State Police Command.
