Controversial singer, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, and his business associate, Balogun Samson, known as Sam Larry, have both been released from prison following the fulfilment of their bail conditions. The confirmation came from the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, on Friday.
In a brief statement, Hundeyin stated, “Naira Marley and Sammy Larry, having met their bail conditions, have been released.” This announcement followed the duo’s fulfilment of the bail conditions set by a Lagos State Magistrates’ Court, where they were granted bail on Monday, November 6, with a sum of N20m and three responsible sureties. “As part of the bail conditions, the defendants are to surrender their passports and make weekly appearances at the State Criminal Investigation Department,” the court ruled. It is worth noting that the duo were remanded in prison as suspects in the ongoing case of the alleged murder of the ex-signee of Marlian Records, Aloba Imole, better known as Mohbad.
