Popular Nigerian singer Azeez Fashola, widely known as Naira Marley, and his associate Samson Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, have taken a bold step in their legal battle to challenge their continued detention in connection with the death of fellow singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, alias Mohbad.
The Fundamental Rights Suit
In their pursuit of justice, Naira Marley and Sam Larry have filed a fundamental rights suit in which they are demanding N20 million in damages from both the police and Lagos Magistrate Adeola Olatunbosun. The crux of their legal action revolves around their contention that they have been wrongfully held in police custody.
The Magistrate’s Controversial Decision

The Legal Argument
Naira Marley and Sam Larry, represented by Olalekan Ojo (SAN), their legal counsel, are adamant that their continued detention at the Homicide Section of the Lagos State Police Command since October 4, 2023, constitutes a violation of their fundamental rights. They point out that the magistrate’s initial order was for a limited period of 21 days, a period that has now elapsed.
Seeking Immediate Release
The crux of Naira Marley and Sam Larry’s legal action is to secure their immediate release. They are urging the court to declare that their ongoing detention is unlawful and in violation of their rights. Their goal is to obtain an order from the court for their prompt release.
The legal battle between these prominent figures in the Nigerian entertainment industry and the authorities has captured significant public attention, with many eagerly awaiting the court’s decision on this high-stakes case.
