Mohbad: Court denies nurse, singer’s friend bail

A Magistrates’ Court sitting in the Yaba area of Lagos on Monday denied 37-year-old auxiliary nurse Fisayo Ogedengbe bail.

Ogedengbe is the prime suspect in the death of singer Mohbad born Oladimeji Aloba.

According to the police, Mohbad’s death was as a result of injections given to him by Ogedengbe.

Also, the magistrate Adeola Olatunbosun ordered that Mohbad’s friend, Ayobami Sadiq also known as Spending, being held as a suspect in the case, should be returned to police custody.

The magistrate, however, granted bail in the sum of N20 million each to Mohbad’s former boss, Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, and a Lagos socialite Balogun Eletu aka Sam Larry, who were also implicated in Mohbad’s death and taken into custody by the police on October 6.

The magistrate said, “The defendants (Naira Marley and Sam Larry) are hereby granted bail in the sum of N20m with three responsible sureties in like sum pending the legal advice from the Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecution.

“Also, one of the sureties must own a landed property. As part of the bail conditions, the defendants are to surrender their passports and make weekly appearances at the State Criminal Investigation Department.”

Olatunbosun also warned that no one should contact her directly on the case.

“Any attempts to contact me directly would be recorded and potentially disclosed in open court proceedings,” she added.

Olatunbosun adjourned the case till November 29 for advice from the Department of Public Prosecution.
