Controversial Nigerian singer, Abdulazeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, and his aide, Samson Elutu, also known as Sam Larry, have finally been granted bail after spending several weeks in detention.
The embattled industry figures were required to provide three sureties who would stand as guarantors, with a substantial sum of N20 million.
Additionally, Naira Marley and Sam Larry were instructed to surrender their international passports and to appear weekly at the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
The Magistrate sternly warned them to refrain from attempting to contact her directly, as any such attempts would be documented and potentially disclosed during court proceedings.
It can be recalled that Naira Marley and Sam Larry were accused of physically assaulting late singer Mohbad, which resulted in their remand by the police.
Last week, they took legal action against the Magistrate and the Police, filing a lawsuit in the Federal High Court in Lagos. They named the police and the magistrate as defendants and are seeking N20 million each in damages.
