The Lagos State Police Command has officially freed Azeez Fashola, well known as Naira Marley, and his close partner Samson Erinfolami Balogun, also known as Sam Larry, in a recent development. The two were freed after meeting the requirements for their bail laid down by a Yaba magistrate's court.
To recap, on September 12, Naira Marley and Sam Larry were both arrested and charged with a crime after it was claimed they were involved in the unsolved de;;ath of Naira Marley's previous signee, Mohbad. This led to their arrest and subsequent legal proceedings.
The Yaba Magistrate's Court granted them bail on November 6 in exchange for three responsible sureties and a sizeable amount of N20 million. Adeola Olatunbosun, the magistrate in charge of the case, stipulated that turning in their passports and showing up in person every week to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Panti were requirements of their release.
Let's fast-forward to Friday night, November 17, when the two were formally freed after fulfilling all bail conditions. The case has attracted a lot of attention because of the seriousness of the accusations surrounding Mohbad's terrible death in addition to Naira Marley's famous position. The focus is still on the current investigations and any new developments in this well-known case as they are once again free.
