The father asked the Nigerian to forgive him for all that had happened in the rush to bury his son, Mohbad, in an interview with BBC Yoruba.
The late singer’s father revealed how his son was abused and lived in dread after his contract with Naira Marley expired.
The father went on to say that because of how he acted when he came to his house to plead with him about his kid, he thought Naira Marley to be a nice person.
He said,
“My son died at about 3 pm, nobody called me. By the time I got to his house, it was 10 pm and I saw a lot of crowds. We were denied a police report at the station, We tried to take him to the mortuary but there was no space, and I couldn’t be watching him in the house. I had to bury him. Nigerians should forgive me if I offended them.
Nobody loves him like me. I have never seen Samlarry before in my life. The first day I went to Naira Marley’s house, Mohbad was eating and Naira picked a spoon and was eating with him. This touched me that he loved him so much but my son told me Naira was evil. When I went to Naira’s room to beg him to forgive my son whatever he might have done, I didn’t know he was recording me.
The first time Samlarry ever beat him, he told me not to say anything, he reported at the police station but nothing was done. Since then he had always been living with fear. He was beaten again during his video shoot with Zlatan. I need justice for him. As a Pastor,I can’t fight this traditionally because of my religion. If they want to do the DNA test, let them do it.”
