Naira Marley has had his music prohibited from being played on Splash FM 105.5 in Ibadan, Oyo State, due to the ongoing inquiry into the strange death of Mohbad, a previous label signee.
This information was revealed in a post that one of the radio station’s hosts, Aderonke Adesola, made on X (formerly Twitter). The management of Splash FM explained the suspension in an internal memo by citing the ongoing police investigation into Mohbad’s death.
The memo urged staff members to exercise discretion due to the sensitive nature of Mohbad’s death and the criminal investigation. It stated that Naira Marley’s songs are now classified as “Not to be Broadcast” on their station until further notice, effective immediately.
The post read, “Good evening team. In view of the sensitive nature around the death of Mohbad and the criminal procedure, the police have commenced, I will urge us all to exercise discretion.
“To this effect, Naira Marley’s songs have become NTBB ( not to be broadcast) on our station till further notice. This is with immediate effect. Thank you.”
Meanwhile, the body of the late Nigerian singer Mohbad was reportedly exhumed for examination by his family, according to a new report.
The report adds that the late singer’s remains was exhumed on September 18, or at the latest tomorrow morning, according to Solo, who provided the update. He also said that the Police are now interviewing the late singer’s parents.
Recall that Tru News Report earlier reported that in order to determine the immediate and indirect causes of the death of singer Mohbad, the Lagos State Police Command established a 13-person commission on Monday, September 18.
At the panel’s introduction, Idowu Owohunwa, the state’s commissioner of police, urged the public to provide information to help with the inquiry while being surrounded by Mohbad’s family members. He said that all information, including videos, would be used in the investigation and that it would not be limited to just one or two people.
According to him, the command will target anyone the investigation finds appropriate. The command may pick up anyone, no matter where they are in the world, he added.
Wherever you are in this world, do not forget that we have access to Interpol.
Everyone connected to the regrettable occurrence will be found and hauled in, the police chief added. Within two weeks, the panel is expected to deliver its report. View the press conference video below.
