Nigerian musician Naira Marley has reacted after being exonerated from any involvement in the death of his former signee, Mohbad.
A court ruling acquitted Naira Marley, music promoter Sam Larry, and two others, clearing them of any connection to the case.
Following the verdict, Naira Marley took to his X account to express his relief, sharing a verse from the Quran.
“And whoever puts all his trust in Allah, He will be enough for him. (65:3).”

Naira Marley also went on to recount his ordeal in jail and expressed his patience for the truth to be revealed.
“You thought I would run. Instead, I stood before the justice system, spent time in jail, and faced everything head-on while you changed the story, again and again.
“But God sees all. The truth does not shake. The lies will fade, and time will reveal everything. I have been broken, but I am not destroyed. And when the truth finally speaks, I pray your heart is strong enough to bear it,” he stated.
In another tweet, Naira Marley spoke about how he suffered in silence when fingers were pointed at him for the death of Mohbad. Naira Marley said he was struck in shame and pain after he was accused of killing Mohbad.
“I have carried this weight, this pain, this shame that was never mine to bear. We, as Marlians, were not perfect. We had to grow, we had to adapt. Mistakes were made, but they were business-never war. I made peace with Mohbad. We understood each other beyond the noise, beyond the misunderstandings. And you know this,” he tweeted.
A Magistrate Court in Sabo, Yaba, Lagos, has officially cleared Naira Marley, music promoter Sam Larry, Mohbad’s former manager Opere Babatunde, and Primeboy of any involvement in the singer’s death, ruling that they have no case to answer.
Meanwhile, the court found Mohbad’s auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, and his friend, Ayobami Sadiq, liable for reckless and negligent actions. They will now face prosecution under Section 251 (e) of the Lagos State Criminal Law, 2015.
The verdict has stirred mixed reactions, with some supporters welcoming the ruling, while others continue to call for justice for Mohbad.
