Marlian music signee, Mohbad, has raised concerns over attempts on his life by suspected members of the Marlian group and his boss, Naira Marley.
According to the singer, should anything unfortunate happen to him, Naira Marley and the crew members should be held responsible. The singer raised the alarm on an Instagram live video just a few hours after his release from National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) custody.
In the Instagram video, the singer speaking in his local dialect (Yoruba) and English, disclosed that NDLEA arrested his colleague, Zinoleesky, a few others, and him. However, he was fortunate to have been released. He then alleged that upon his return, members of the Marlian music tried to harm him.
“I’m just trying to ask like am I a bad boy? I don’t really mean it from my mind. So, I don’t know these people have been hating on me. They have been doing bad things to me, I went mad because of this issue, now they are trying to kill me. Everybody in the whole world please help me, if I die woh na Marlian music and Naira Marley kill me.
“Abeg if I die like this, God, please help me. Look at all these people sha my God will never mess me up, never. I’m in Idado estate”.

In another live video, Mohbad who was in a vehicle said: “I’m going to the hospital right now, Oh my God. I’m messed up by many people, I don’t trust anybody”.
Meanwhile, Marlian music Boss, Naira Marley, confirmed Mohbad’s release in a series of tweets.
“NDLEA has released Mohbad after physically assaulting him, Zinoleesky is still in custody. The boys are under a lot of stress after being ambushed in the middle of the night with no warrant. I’m urgently returning to Lagos now”.

In another tweet, he wrote: “What is happening to my brothers is disgusting. The injustice is unfair and this is beginning to look like a pattern. First me now my artists. Free Zinoleesky, free Shubomi, free Micee, and Dosky”.
Naira Marley arrested over alleged Fraud Case
Naira Marley himself has been embattling an alleged fraud case. On May 20, 2019, the anti-graft agency arraigned Naira Marley, who sang the popular song, ‘Am I a Yahoo Boy?’ before the Federal High Court in Lagos.
The EFCC claimed that the offenses were committed on different dates between November 26 and December 11, 2018, as well as May 10, 2019. It alleged that Naira Marley and his accomplices conspired to use different Access Bank ATM cards to defraud their victims.
The EFCC also noted that the defendant possessed and used counterfeit credit cards belonging to different people, with intent to defraud others.
The alleged offenses are said to contravene the provisions of Sections 1 23 (1) (b), 27 (1), and 33(9) of the Cyber Crime (Prohibition) Prevention Act, 2015.
When arraigned before Justice Oweibo, Naira Marley pleaded not guilty. The court later granted him bail in the sum of 2 million Naira with two sureties.
