Azeez Fashola, better known by his stage name Naira Marley, and Balogun Eletu, better known by his stage name Sam Larry, have been granted N20 million bail each, along with three responsible sureties, by a Yaba Magistrate Court in Lagos State.

As part of their bail requirements, the two were also had to turn in their foreign passports, according to Magisterate Adeola Olatunbosun.

Additionally, the magistrate mandated that the two present every week at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID).

The Magistrate in charge of the case issued a special warning, saying that any effort to get in touch with her by any other means would be recorded and would be revealed at open court sessions.

“The defendants are required to turn in their passports and attend weekly at the State Criminal Investigation Department as part of the bail requirements.
Olatunbosun issued a warning, saying, “Any attempt to contact me directly would be recorded and potentially disclosed in open court proceedings.”

When the two returned to Nigeria, they were detained on suspicion of being connected to the passing of musician Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Aloba.

Social media footage had earlier surfaced showing Sam Larry violently abusing Mobad; other videos had boys who appeared to be acting at Naira Marley’s command hitting the late rapper over his decision to leave Marlian Records, the record company that Marley established.
