Abosede, the mother of late musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, on Wednesday told the Coroner’s Inquest that her son was protecting her from former label head Azeez Fashola, nicknamed Naira Marley, and his ally, Sam Larry.

According to her, Naira Marley was continually harassing Mohbad, and the singer was terrified.

“He always mentioned Naira Marley and Sammy Larry, and he was always shaking. I begged him several times to allow me to speak with them, but he refused, saying he didn’t want them to kill me.

“The last time he travelled for a show, after he came back, he mentioned to me that Naira Marley came to attack him, he reported the case to the police but I don’t know if the police invited Naira Marley,” Abosede said.

Mohbad died in questionable circumstances on September 12, 2023.
