In a recent development, an unidentified Nigerian lawyer has stepped forward to debunk the rumor of an assault on Mohbad, the late Nigerian singer, during a video shoot in Lekki. This clarification comes in the wake of the arrest of Sam Larry by the Nigerian Police, as well as the arrest of Naira Marley and several others in connection with Mohbad's tragic death on September 12, 2023.
The lawyer, in a conversation with Daddy Freeze, vehemently asserted that there is no concrete evidence implicating Naira Marley in any wrongdoing related to Mohbad's passing. He stated, "As for Naira Marley, I believe very strongly that no matter how hard you look, you will not find a single incident where Naira Marley bullied him."
Regarding Sam Larry's involvement, the lawyer shed light on the events leading up to the incident, explaining, "I think, sometime in June 2023, he came to Elegushi Beach for something else." He continued, "I think they told him some people were shooting a video somewhere around the beach, and as someone involved in promoting music, he wanted to be part of that activity."
According to the lawyer, when Sam Larry arrived at the location, he was unaware that Mohbad was present. In the video footage, he can be heard saying, "It's even you, sef," upon realizing Mohbad's presence. The lawyer further clarified that Sam Larry did not attack Mohbad in the video and that there is a longer version of the video that he intends to make public to Daddy Freeze.
The lawyer's statements have triggered a range of reactions from concerned individuals. Some have expressed skepticism, while others have questioned the lawyer's motives and suggested that he may have been influenced or paid to make these claims. The situation surrounding Mohbad's death remains a matter of deep concern and continues to generate discussions and debates among the public.
As the investigation unfolds and more information comes to light, it is important to maintain a balanced and objective perspective, respecting the legal process and the need for thorough examination of the facts. The circumstances surrounding Mohbad's passing are a reminder of the complexities and challenges that can arise in high-profile cases, especially in the realm of social media and public opinion.
