Petition With Over 47,000 Signatures Calls For Ban On Marlian Music Label, Alleging Drug Syndicate Links....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

An online petition titled “Ban Marlian Music” has amassed over 47,000 signatures as of 12:30 p.m. on Friday. The petitioners allege that Marlian Records, associated with popular Nigerian artist Naira Marley, operates as a drug syndicate disguised as a music label.

The controversy surrounding Marlian Records intensified following the sudden death of singer Mohbad on Tuesday. Some individuals, including Naira Marley and Sam Larry, have been implicated in the controversy.

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.

The petitioners demand justice and government intervention in these matters, urging a comprehensive investigation into the Marlian Music Brand and the evidence provided to the public.

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.
