The Lagos State Magistrates’ Court in Yaba made a decision on Monday concerning the case involving the controversial death of the hip-hop artiste Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad.
They ordered the return to custody of a 37-year-old auxiliary nurse, Fisayo Ogedengbe, who was arrested by the police in connection with the incident.
Allegations suggested that the nurse administered injections to the late singer, resulting in his unfortunate demise.
Additionally, the magistrate, Adeola Olatunbosun, ruled that Mohbad’s friend, Ayobani Sadiq, who was also a suspect in the case, should be sent back to police custody.
However, the magistrate granted bail in the amount of N20 million to each of Mohbad’s former boss, Azeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, and a Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, known as Sam Larry. Both were implicated in Mohbad’s death and had been taken into police custody on October 6.
The magistrate said, “The defendants (Naira Marley and Sam Larry) are hereby granted bail in the sum of N20m with three responsible sureties in like sum pending the legal advice from the Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecution.
“Also, one of the sureties must own a landed property. As part of the bail conditions, the defendants are to surrender their passports and make weekly appearances at the State Criminal Investigation Department.”
Olatunbosun also warned that no one should contact her directly on the case.
“Any attempts to contact me directly would be recorded and potentially disclosed in open court proceedings,” she added.
According to the police, the investigation on the case is still ongoing, hence Olatunbosun adjourned the case till November 29 for DPP advice.
