What Caused The Death Of Mohbad?

It is no longer a rumor that in the Nigerian music scene, there is more to it than meets the eye. So many people have accused the Nigerian music scene of being a cabal where you have to “belong” before you can excel or “blow” and remain relevant. Some of the groups parading as record labels are just criminal gangs using record labels as cover for their criminal activities like internet fraud, drug trafficking etc and if you dare try to exit or speak up they will make your life miserable. They will harass you, assault you, beat you up and blacklist you in the industry so that nobody ever sees your limelight again. 

From the media outburst, all hands have been pointing towards Naira Marley, the deceased former record label boss and Sam Larry, someone we may choose to call “a consultant” in the Marlian music group. There was a series of videos of Sam Larry with his boys attacking Mohbad, and the most recent one was a video of Sam Larry with some other group of thugs accosting Mohbad with Machetes at the venue where Mohbad was shooting the video of his song with Zlatan Ibile. 

We have seen other videos too of Naira Marley assaulting and beating up Mohbad.

The late victim did report several times to the police, he in some of the petitions had pleaded with the Nigerian police force to save his life, in fact, the most recent report was the petition he filed to the Lagos state police command in June this reporting the assault of Sam Larry against him and storming the scene of his video shoot with boys assaulted him and his crew and damaged his shooting equipment worth millions of naira.

As expected, the police did not do anything or even invite Sam Larry or Naira Marley for questioning till the guy died from what he was running from, instead, Naira Marley was rewarded by being made an ambassador of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

While no one can specifically point towards anything to have been the direct cause of the death of Mohbad, every insider or those close to him has been testifying to the fact that it was the series of ordeals he had in the hands of Naira Marley and Sam Larry that led to his untimely demise. I personally have spoken to some of his close friends and they all said the same thing.

The police need to swing into action and investigate the events leading to the death of this promising young lad and also do well to uncover the dark side of the Nigerian music industry.

  154. Oh My God!
    I wish this is just a terrible dream i hope to wake up from.
    MOHBAD!
    A beloved and talented singer of many fans just, suddenly, vacated this mortal plane unannounced!
    Why is life so cruel?
    Why is life so wicked?
    Why is life so inconsiderate?

  155. Life is so unpredictable!!. It is like a double-edged sword that cuts on both sides.
    This world is not home to anyone, human or divine. In a short while, we shall all return to our real home. What accounts shall we give to God concerning our deeds on earth??
    Naira Marley and his cohorts who are suspected to have killed Mohbad, what do you gain by such atrocious act? You just shed a human blood. Is that what you will tell your creator on the day of reckoning??

    ‘He that kills by the sword, shall die by the sword.’ ‘An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’.

    You shall also die the same way Mohbad did. Either naturally, that is if God allows that, or by other means. Then, you will answer to all the misdeeds you have done!!.
    MOHBAD!
    May your gentle and lovely soul rest in perfect peace!!

  158. It is well
    But how come all this struggle’s been happening in the life of a young man and it wasn’t noticed till after his demise…… this hurts so much

  160. NDLEA is a corrupt and despicable agency in our country seriously they worth nothing you’re to fight against drug abuse and you used a real time drug dealer as an ambassador you will all pay for this because God will judge you all for cutting this young promising guy’s life short, you all forgot that tomorrow is promised no one and whatever fame you have here is to the glory of termites that will eat up your body and suffer heat under the earth. Mohbad Rest In Peace but Marley will know no peace your wealth and all the fame you have here on earth will work against you some days.

  164. Naira rubish i wish you can just read this post
