In a widely watched video released today, controversial singer Naira Marley publicly called for a complete reopening of the probe into the death of his former signee, MohBad, demanding that “everybody involved in the case” be re-arrested. The appeal is part of his broader stance that justice must be served and a fair investigation conducted.
“I came back to Nigeria to support the police,” Marley said, urging that a “trustworthy officer” be assigned to the case this time.
The video, which has since gone viral across social media platforms, featured Marley recounting how he was held for two months at Panti despite claiming to have presented evidence supporting his innocence.
He also affirmed that royalties from MohBad’s estate remain untouched, offering to hand them over to the family through the court or another appointed representative.
Why it matters: The renewed push by Marley has reignited public debate over accountability and transparency in the handling of celebrity deaths — especially where allegations of foul play linger unresolved. It could also set the tone for how the police and justice system address high-profile cases moving forward.
Outlook: With public sentiment strongly behind MohBad’s fans, renewed police scrutiny and a trust-promoting assignment of investigators may be on the horizon. Whether this leads to tangible action remains to be seen.
