Mohbad: Naira Marley And Sam Larry Sue Magistrate, Police Over Their Detention, Demand N40m

They filed a fundamental rights lawsuit at the Federal High Court in Lagos, challenging their prolonged detention in relation to the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad.

Sam Larry and Naira Marley, who filed the suit through their lawyer, Olalekan Ojo (SAN), are seeking N20 million in damages from the defendants.

They urged the court to recognize that their ongoing detention at the Homicide Section of the Lagos State Police Command since October 4, 2023, violates their rights.

In the affidavits attached to their suits, the duo explained that their ordeal began on October 3 and 4, 2023, with their arrest by the police regarding the alleged connection to the death of Mohbad.

It reads, “Their travails started between October 3 and 4, 2023 when they were arrested by the police on the alleged connection of the applicants with the death of one Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.

“The Commissioner of Police on the 4th of October 2023, sought an order in the Magistrates’ Court, held at Yaba to remand them for 30 days.

“Chief Magistrate Adeola Olatunbosun granted the police application to remand them for only 21 days in the custody of the police.

“The 21-day remand order granted by Chief Magistrate Olatunbosun has since lapsed on October 26, 2023, and the order has not been renewed.”
