In another tweet, Naira Marley spoke about how he suffered in silence when fingers were pointed at him for the death of Mohbad. Naira Marley said he was struck in shame and pain after he was accused of killing Mohbad.

The artiste disclosed that he made peace with Mohbad before his death even though they fell out due to business activities.

“I have carried this weight, this pain, this shame that was never mine to bear. We, as Marlians, were not perfect. We had to grow, we had to adapt. Mistakes were made, but they were business-never war. I made peace with Mohbad. We understood each other beyond the noise, beyond the misunderstandings. And you know this,” he tweeted.

Naira Marley recounted his suffering in jail and expressed his patience for the truth to reveal.

“You thought I would run. Instead, I stood before the justice system, spent time in jail, and faced everything head-on while you changed the story, again and again.

“But God sees all. The truth does not shake. The lies will fade, and time will reveal everything. I have been broken, but I am not destroyed. And when the truth finally speaks, I pray your heart is strong enough to bear it,” he stated.

A Magistrate Court in Sabo, Yaba, Lagos, had earlier exonerated Naira Marley, alongside music promoter Sam Larry, Mohbad’s former manager Opere Babatunde, and Primeboy, stating that they had no case to answer in relation to the singer’s death.

However, Mohbad’s auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, and his friend, Ayobami Sadiq, were indicted and will face prosecution for reckless and negligent acts, as outlined under Section 251 (e) of the Lagos State Criminal Law, 2015.

The ruling has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans expressing relief over the judgment, while others continue to demand justice for Mohbad
