Naira Marley stated that he has “no hand in the death of llerioluwa, either directly or indirectly.”

While admitting their misunderstandings, Marley said: “Truly, we had our own share of misunderstandings whilst working together, but the disagreement between us was never to the extent being painted by some hirelings. It never degenerated to the extent of wishing each other death. Even at that, we were resolving our business disputes legally before he had passed.

“I have chosen not to say anything since due to being distraught over his death and in order not to jeopardize the investigation being carried out by the government agencies.”

“I have been out of the country since the 31st of August, 2023 and I’m yet to return. In light of the police invitation, I am making arrangements to return to the country to assist the investigation and give my version of the events. I am fully cooperating with the Police team and I certainly have no reason to be a fugitive when I have no hand in his death.”

Speaking further, Naira Marley denied ever attacking, bullying or instructing anyone to harm Mohbad while assuring the public that his lawyers are already in touch with police and government agencies.
