Family and close friends of Mohbad

Family reaction

My son didn’t die a natural death; he was killed. Whoever killed my son, that person’s home will become troubled. They will face war and curses. The glory of the child in their home will diminish because of those who killed him and their sons. I am not dead; I am alive. My son didn’t find rest, and I couldn’t speak up whenever he was falsely accused because I wasn’t given the chance.I asked my son what happened, and he gave me money to go to the hospital. I called him from the hospital, and he told me, ‘Mummy, something is happening.’ I called him to come home and tell me what happened. I am his life and heaven. He said he came home because he heard something had happened. He said he was taken and given water, and then he didn’t know what happened to him anymore. Since then, I’ve been on the matter. Since then, I’ve been on it. He died in fear. The fear was too much. If he was supposed to go to some shows, he couldn’t go because of the fear that some people were coming. He was beaten every day, and I was receiving calls even from people I didn’t know. I didn’t rest until he was killed.

-MohBad's Mom [21]

His dad said "Don’t blame Naira Marley for my son’s death, as I tried my best to reach Naira Marley, but everything was in vain. When this issue happened, I wanted to trek to his house, but I was scared because I didn't know what I would meet there". [22]

His mom believed her son was murdered, and not killed by any ear infection. According to Instablog, she believed his exit from Naira Marley's label Marlian Music" led to his many troubles and death. [21] [23]

My child will be crying all the time. They will be beating him whenever he goes for a show. A show he is supposed to go for he will not be able to attend the show. Sam Larry, I don't know who that is. I don't know anybody. I don't know any strong person. I have seen you people now You have promised me. Help me find Naira out, he used my son as a slave. When my son was with Naira, he never gave me money. Please help me find him out. My child will be telling me please do not let them kill me. I will also be telling him that I know people and that I will meet some people. He will tell me Please do not allow them to kill me.
