Lagos coroner summons Naira Marley, Primeboy, Sam Larry over Mohbad’s death

A Lagos coroner court sitting in Ikorodu has summoned Primeboy, Naira Marley, and Sam Larry over the death of Mohbad.

On Friday, Adedayi, Shotibi, the coroner magistrate, directed that the trio should appear before the court on October 25.

The summon is on the back of the ongoing inquest to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of Mohbad.

The coroner asked the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCID) in Panti to make sure the three suspects are present in court on October 25.

The coroner’s order came after taking submissions from interested parties in the matter.

Mohbad died on September 12 and was buried the next day.

The circumstances surrounding his death have continued to stir up controversies on social media.

Several suspects — including Feyisola Ogedengbe, Naira Marley, Sam Larry and Primeboy — are currently in police custody with respect to the investigation into Mohbad’s death.

Thousands of Nigerians have demanded justice for Mohbad in nationwide protests.

On September 21, the police exhumed Mohbad’s corpse for autopsy and are awaiting the results.

Last week, the police in Lagos named Ogedengbe, the auxiliary nurse who injected Mohbad, as “the prime suspect” in the singer’s death.

Idowu Owohunwa, the Lagos state police commissioner, said the “auxiliary nurse administered multiple and highly potent injections which triggered an immediate reaction that eventually occasioned the death of Mohbad”.

The commissioner said the injections, consisting of tetanus toxoid, paracetamol, and ceftriaxone injection (IV) were administered at Mohbad’s residence.
