The untimely passing of the late, talented Nigerian artist Mohbad has brought numerous flaws in the music industry to light.
A plea to the Nigerian police against Naira Marley's assistant Sam Larry has surfaced online as investigators try to determine what caused the singer's tragic death.
Following harassment and abuse on the set of a video shoot with Zlatan Ibile, the singer had filed a case in June 2023.
Samklef bemoaned how the Nigerian police let him down while posting a screenshot of the petition.
"The Nigerian police force is a broken system! In June, the Nigerian Police Force received a plea from the late Mohbad asking them to protect his life and property. Please tag all police officers because Nigeria must halt its evil.
Earlier on, a video of Mohbad being harassed by Sam Larry had surfaced online.
In the video, Mohbad was shooting a music video with Zlatan in a wheelchair when Sam Larry stormed the location carrying a matchet and other weapons.
Following the viral video, many stormed his Instagram page, demanding an explanation for the brutality.
This led Larry to at first, restrict his comment section, then later deactivate his page.
Mohbad was signed to Naira Marley’s†Marlian Records†and left the label in 2022.
In an Instagram live session, after his release from NDLEA’s camp, Mohbad had alleged that Naira Marley and other members of the group were after his life.
He expressed his belief that Naira Marley and Marlian music would play a role in his demise, as he told his fans to hold the label boss accountable for his death.
The singer and rapper had also posted clips of an alleged assault he suffered at the hands of Naira Marley’s Crew after he requested to change his manager.
However, Naira Marley, responded to his accusation, by saying that he was lying as he spilled teas about him.
Countering him, Mohbad expressed hope that justice would be served someday.
Even his friend and colleague, Bella Shmurda confirmed in an interview that Naira Marley was threatening his life.
