The Lagos Police Command says there are evidence that the late Mohbad was bullied by his former record label boss Naira Marley and Sam Larry.

At a press briefing on the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the late musician’s death, the Lagos Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, said Mohbad had raised alarm of a threat to his life and was bullied and assaulted by Naira Marley and Sam Larry.

In his statement, the Lagos police commissioner said that Naira Marley and Sam Larry, however, denied allegations of complicity in the death of Mohbad and provided alibis to that effect.

The police chief said that both suspects said they were out of the country when the incident occurred and were not at all involved in the successive events leading to Mohbad’s death between September 10 to 12.

“However, there are preponderances of evidence linking both Naira Marley and Sam Larry to the allegations of threat to life, Cyberstalking, and sundry crimes committed against Mohbad in his lifetime and they are held liable,” the police chief added.

After the death of Mohbad, the police issued invitations to Naira Marley and Sam Larry, following pressure from the public against alleged complicity by the Marlian Music boss and his associate.

Their arrests followed social media outrage in response to comments by fellow artistes and former record label colleagues recounting incidents of bullying and assaults against Mohbad by Naira Marley and Sam Larry.
