This update is a major one for many who have followed the case since 2023. Here’s a full breakdown of the court’s decision and what happened next.
Verdict: “Assaulted, but not killed”
In a detailed report by the DPP, the court acknowledged that while there was evidence unlawful assault Naira Marley and Sam Lary’s past assessment of Mobard was that these actions did not directly lead to his death.
Magistrates said allegations of bullying and harassment, while documented, “do not rise to the level of criminal liability” over the singer’s death. Accordingly, the court removed the names of the following persons:
-
Abdulaziz Fashola (played by Naira Marley)
-
Samson Balogun Eletu (Sam Larry)
-
Oduni Ibrahim (Primeboy)
-
Babatunde Opere (former manager)
Who should bear responsibility?
If the “big shot” is exonerated, who will face legal action? The DPP has directed the prosecution of two individuals for “reckless and negligent conduct”:
-
Feyisayo Ogedengbe (auxiliary nurse): The court found a direct link between the drugs she injected and the complications that led to Mobard’s death. She was charged with manslaughter and gross negligence.
-
Ayobami Sadiq (Friend of Mobad): He also faces prosecution for his role in the incident that led to the treatment.
coroner’s last words
The coroner’s court recently reinforced this, ruling out foul play or foul play on the part of Marlian Music staff. Instead, the coroner blamed it on “medical malpractice.” The report also pointed out a number of systemic deficiencies:
-
Father’s urgency: The court criticized the “hurried burial” of Maubad’s father without a preliminary autopsy.
-
Wife’s procrastination: The court noted that Mobad received more than 15 hours of treatment at home rather than being taken to a regular hospital.
