He wrote: “If I die, the whole of marlians music individuals(naira Marley and his boiz)should be held responsible. Look how my brothers and I were treated without even engaging in any physical fight with any of the marlian music people. I was dragged naked on the road and naira Marley did nothing about it, I lost some of my valuables.
“I was stripped like I stole all in the name of begging them not to touch Mohbad. I know I don’t have the power and connection they do have but I have GOD. We are attacked with all sort of weapons…please ooo Nigerians help me… I repeat if I die marlians music people should be held responsible………..shuddy, seyi, Sid and co .. if I die, at least people will know some of the names of the people who brutalized me…. I fear nobody but God my creator.”
In another post, Oreoluwa claimed he has been receiving threat messages.
He wrote: “I’m getting threatening messages. I no fear to die o. God na im give person life. I was stripped naked on the streets like a dog or a thief. Me wey no touch anything just apologising.”
Biztellers could recall that Mohbad, whose actual name is Ilerioluwa Oladimeji, raised a concern about an alleged threat to his life by Naira Marley and others during his encounter with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in February 2022.
On Friday, February 25, a video of a Naira Marley associate crying and yelling out the names of his coworkers who want to kill him went viral on the internet.
“I don’t know these people have been hating on me, They have been doing bad things on me now they’re trying to kill. Everybody in the whole world help me ooo!
“If I die na like this na Marlian music, Naira Marley kill me. My God will never fuck me up, Never. I don’t trust anybody. I am going to the hospital,” he said.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) detained Mohbad and another artist, Zinoleesky, for possession of illegal narcotics.
