The Nigerian police force said it has obtained a remand warrant to further detain Nigerian singer, Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley, and a music promoter, Balogun Eletu otherwise known as Sam Larry.
The warrant obtained is to detain the duo beyond the 48 hours constitutional provision, over the ongoing investigation on the death of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba popularly known as Mohbad.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the development on Wednesday.
Hundeyin said, “They were not arraigned for the case itself; they were taken to court for us to get a remand warrant to enable us to detain them beyond the constitutional 48 hours provision, so that we’re not accused of over-detention. To get the remand warrant, we needed to present the people in court.
“And we indeed got the warrant, but I can’t ascertain the number of days granted yet; I’d make it available to you once I obtain it.”
DAILY GIST reported that Mohbad died in Lagos at the age of 27. However, the cause of his death remains controversial leading to call for justice from concerned Nigerians.
