Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, has alleged that late music sensation, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad, was suicidal before he died.

In an interview with former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, Marley alleged that Mohbad battled with mental health issues.

“When I was in America, his girl called me to say he locked himself in the toilet and wanted to kill himself,” he said.

“I was out of the country, I came back, and the people you surround yourself with are telling me all these things that he forgot his password. They said he forgets things quickly.

“So I was just trying to get help for him. That is why I was with his family; his dad and mum, if you can get the full video. You can see them complaining, telling me about the way he is moving and I am telling them too I heard he forgot lyrics. This is still the stage when I am trying to find help or see what was wrong with him.”

Speaking further, Marley said Mohbad confided in him that only his parents knew what was wrong with him. “I did pay for a lot of scans for him I also suggested that he should travel out to get checked properly he didn’t want to go along with the treatment and said his mum and dad were the only ones who knew what was wrong with him and would be able to help,” he added.
