September 28, (THEWILL) – Singer, Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, has said that he is ready to return to Nigeria to clear his name over his alleged involvement in the death of his former label signee, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.
Since the death of Mohbad, there has been social media outrage after several videos surfaced of the late singer accusing Naira Marley of masterminding his gang-beating.
Naira Marley said there’s a lot of mob poisoned by the media against his person and stressed that he’ll return to the country if the police guarantee his safety.
He also alleged that Mohbad struggled with suicidal thoughts while he was alive.
“There was another time when I was in America and his girl called me to say he locked himself in the toilet and he wanted to kill himself or something like that. So, I called him from there and recorded the conversation, asking him: “Why did you want to kill yourself? You are a king, if your family is stressing you out (because this time, he was with his family and all his family was around him) just tell them to chill, you can do what you want to do, do not stress yourself, if you kill yourself now, what do you want people to say.
“I was so concerned so I called him to try to give him rest of mind, if your family is stressing you out, leave. He wanted to commit suicide, in the video. I was just trying to find out what was wrong with him.”
