MohbadGATE - Court Throws Out Mohbad’s Father’s Case Against Singer Naira Marley And Socialite Sam Larry

An Ikeja High Court has dismissed the legal application filed by Mr. Joseph Aloba, father of the late singer Mohbad, seeking to overturn the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecution’s (DPP) legal advice that cleared music label boss Naira Marley and show promoter Sam Larry of involvement in Mohbad’s death.

Justice Taiwo Olatokun ruled that the Attorney General’s powers to prosecute or not are absolute and cannot be challenged in court. Aloba’s legal team had argued that the DPP’s advice lacked fairness and prematurely exonerated the suspects before the ongoing coroner’s inquest could conclude.

The respondents, however, maintained that the suspects were not acquitted but merely discharged, and that there was no legal requirement to notify the coroner before issuing the legal advice. The court ultimately sided with the respondents and dismissed Aloba’s application.
