Naira Marley has asserted that his late signee, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, known within the confines of showbiz as Mohbad, may have surrounded himself with cultists which ultimately culminated in his death.
The CEO of Marlian Music was recently implicated in the alleged death of Mohbad. However, he has vehemently denied any involvement in the matter. During an interview with former presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri, the Marlian Music boss refuted claims of being a cultist and stated that he has been battling with cultists since relocating to Nigeria from England in 2019.
He further clarified that he believed Mohbad was a victim of bullying, but the perpetrators were not sponsored by him. The singer expressed his hope that the police would conduct a thorough investigation to uncover the true cause of Mohbad’s death and put an end to the baseless accusations against him.
Naira Marley said; “I believe he was actually stressed as much as he needed help. I believe he has been bullied. I believe there were people on his neck, people all over him that he was in danger. But it wasn’t from us. If he was in danger from me, if anybody is scared of me, nobody is gonna come out doing all of these. I don’t believe in any cult whatsoever.
“I came to Nigeria in 2019 from England. I don’t know what a cult is. I’ve been running away from the cultists in Nigeria. I’m actually an anti-cultist. I’m against it. So many times they tried to force me into it but thank God they never succeeded in doing it.
“I do understand that maybe he [Mohbad] had surrounded himself with a lot of bad people like a lot of cultists. And I can see from the way people are trying to cover up, with the way they sending in money [to Mohbad’s family] and with the experience of what has happened around them, I just hope the police will find out a lot of things, man.”
