A Magistrate’s Court in Yaba, Lagos State, has granted bail to the popular singer Azeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, and Lagos socialite Balogun Eletu, also recognized as Sam Larry.

The bail amount was set at N20 million with three responsible sureties.

The legal proceedings stemmed from the arraignment of Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and two others on October 6, in connection with their alleged involvement in the circumstances surrounding the demise of the musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely known as Mohbad.
