Azeez Fashola, better known by his stage name Naira Marley, and Balogun Eletu, better known by his stage name Sam Larry, have been granted N20 million bail each with three responsible sureties by a Yaba Magistrate Court in Lagos State.
On October 6, Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and two other people were arraigned and placed under remand for their suspected roles in the circumstances surrounding the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, a musician.
The defendants were instructed by magistrate Adeola Olatunbosun to turn in their passports and to report every week to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Panti.

“As part of the bail conditions, the defendants are to surrender their passports and make weekly appearances at the State Criminal Investigation Department.
“Any attempts to contact me directly would be recorded and potentially disclosed in open court proceedings,” Olatunbosun said.
The duo were arrested on their return to Nigeria after they were linked to the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad.
Videos on social media had shown Sam Larry physically assaulting Mobad, while other videos showed boys suspected to be under the orders of Naira Marley also attacking the late rapper.
