Mohbad, also known as Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, passed away on September 12, sparking controversy and accusations directed at Marley.
The police had initiated a special investigation team to probe the circumstances of Mohbad’s death and conducted an autopsy on September 21.
Marley, responding to a police invitation, stated he had been out of the country since August 31, 2023, and affirmed his willingness to cooperate with the investigation, denying any involvement in Mohbad’s death and citing the late singer’s mental health struggles.
In October 2022, Mohbad alleged he was assaulted by Marley, the head honcho of Marlian Records, his former label. He also asked his fans to hold Marley responsible if any harm came his way.
