The controversy erupted after a video surfaced showing Sam Larry, an ally of Naira Marley, and others apparently harassing Mohbad on a music set. This video prompted numerous Nigerians to flood the Instagram pages of Sam Larry and Naira Marley, accusing them of bullying and oppressing the late singer. In response, Sam Larry deactivated his Instagram account due to the cyberattacks he received.

The petitioners claim that Marlian Records recruits young boys to engage in drug-related activities and peddle drugs. They cite the case of ex-signee Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad/Imole, as an example of how his life was tragically cut short and his fundamental rights violated before his death.

The petitioners allege that Sam Larry and Naira Marley were involved in the beating, stalking, and eventual death of Mohbad. Mohbad had reportedly filed petitions against Sam Larry, Elebe, and others months before his death, citing threats to his life, malicious property damage, and oppression, among other issues. However, the police allegedly failed to take action, claiming that Mohbad did not respond to their invitation.

The campaigners are calling for a thorough investigation into the matter. They argue that the Nigerian Police Force has not fulfilled its duty to protect citizens’ lives and property. They also mention the case of Nnnamdi Emeh, a whistleblower who was arrested and detained for exposing alleged undercover activities of the Anambra police, including the harvesting and trade of human organs and the wrongful detention of innocent citizens.

It’s worth noting that after Mohbad’s death, a petition dated June 27, 2023, allegedly written by the late singer, surfaced. In the petition, Mohbad had reportedly cited multiple threats to his life from controversial socialite Samson Balogun, also known as Sam Larry, and others. The petition was addressed to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police at the Nigeria Police Force’s Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has questioned the importance of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) third-place match, despite Nigeria defeating Egypt on penalties to secure bronze at the 2025 tournament in Morocco.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Nigeria claimed third place after a 4-2 shootout victory over Egypt, but Iwobi argued that the fixture holds limited significance, especially so soon after the disappointment of their semi-final exit.

The Fulham midfielder was a key figure throughout the tournament, starting every match except Nigeria’s group-stage game against Uganda. He contributed two assists in six appearances and was central to much of the team’s attacking play. In Saturday’s third-place playoff, Iwobi came off the bench in the final 25 minutes and calmly converted the decisive penalty to clinch victory.

Reflecting on the game, he admitted the mental strain on the squad following their semi-final loss to hosts Morocco.

“We were surrounded by doubts after not making it to the World Cup,” Iwobi told beIN SPORTS.
“We wanted to win gold but ended up finishing third. The match was mentally tough because it’s hard for any player to forget the pain of losing in the semi-finals. I also don’t agree with having a third-place match, but in the end, we managed to win it.”

Iwobi also praised the quality of the Egyptian team, highlighting Premier League stars Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush, both of whom had their penalties saved by Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali.

“The Egyptian team played well, and we studied videos to prepare. Morocco is a beautiful country with great stadiums and hotels. I enjoyed the welcome and visiting Marrakech; everything was impressive,” he added.

Nigeria’s bronze finish rounded off a strong campaign, though the team fell short of its ultimate goal. Forward Ademola Lookman echoed Iwobi’s sentiments, noting that the squad came to Morocco with one clear objective: gold.

“Everyone wanted the gold medal. We came for the trophy, but it didn’t happen,” Lookman said.
“We leave the tournament with bronze, and that is enough.”

Lookman was Nigeria’s most productive player at AFCON 2025, scoring three goals and providing four assists, the tournament’s highest combined total, putting him in contention for a spot in the official Team of the Tournament.

Prior to their semi-final loss to Morocco, Nigeria had been the only unbeaten team in the competition, winning all five of their matches. The dramatic penalty shootout defeat ended their flawless run and denied the three-time African champions a spot in the final.

“Destiny went to rest. After his child’s naming ceremony, about four days later, we went to Oba Edu Ifayomi, who traditionally initiated him. The sickness caught up with him there, causing him to collapse. We immediately took him to the hospital. Oba Edu kept supporting us, sending money even as he was transferred to other hospitals. When we realized the sickness was persistent, we decided on traditional care, and Oba Edu guided us personally,” she said.
