Ex Senior Special Assistant on New Media to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has waded in the ongoing controversy between popular singer Azeez Fashola, better known as Naira Marley, and the late rapper Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
This comes after Naira Marley publicly shared his own account of events leading up to the de@th of his former signee, Mohbad.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, Ahmad said he had not closely followed the case until recently, but after watching Naira Marley’s detailed account, he believes the artiste has been wrongly accused.
He wrote, “I have never really taken time to go through the Naira Marley and Mohbad saga.
“I was only vaguely aware of the headlines and social media reactions, until this morning, when I watched the video where Naira Marley shared his own side of the story.
“Honestly, I wouldn’t have believed him if he hadn’t documented everything so thoroughly—messages, calls, videos and dates, from the very first day they started talking, to the very last time.
“It is truly a blessing when God gives you the wisdom to document every important situation in your life. “That habit alone can save you from injustice and false narratives.”
Ahmad also stated that those who accused Naira Marley on the case owe the singer an appology.
“Those who wrongly accused Naira Marley owe him an apology, at the very least. May Mohbad continue to rest in peace,” Ahmad wrote.
Responding to comments under his post, the former presidential aide added that it had previously been difficult for many to defend Marley, but he commended the singer for eventually speaking up.
“Until recently, coming out to stand or speak up for him was really hard.
“Good that he found the courage to come out publicly and share his own side of the story. Now it is up to people to choose who or what to believe.
“I would have wrongly accused Naira Marley if I hadn’t waited until now to hear his side of the story,” he stated.
