Says Police Ignored Him Till He Died
Nigerian rapper and very close friend of late Mohbad, Bella Shmurda, has opened up in far away Canada, threatening that it shall be pound for pound and flesh for flesh should the police fail to arrest those allegedly responsible for the death of his friend.
Bella Shumurda, who few days before the death of the singer, had revealed on a television programme attempts by Mohabd to commit suicide as a result of the intimidations he was getting from some people in the industry.
Mohbad was first signed under the Marlian Records owned by singer, Naira Marley.
Things went awry after he decided to quit the record label.
He died on Tuesday in circumstances yet to be determined.
Accusing the police of nepotism in the handling of Mohbad’s case, Bella Shmurda said the police failed to act until his friend died.
In a series of tweets via his X handle on Sunday, Bella Shmurda wrote, “For the past few days now, have being deliberating on what to do while for the authorities of the Nigerian police of atleast get one or people involved in maltreatment and malicious act towards Mohbad
“Since he died his spirit have not left me saying a lot of things in my head pointing hands to people that needs to be dealt with in my dreams I got to Canada just few days before he died which I make I went to see him I tell him my plans before leaving as per my g as usual I’m here to see my family and also kick start my tour but I can’t anymore I’m not mentally in shape for it and I will be back in few days but regardless Mohbad submitted lots nd lots of petition against this people and act towards him complained shouted
“But the Nigerian police are so driven with nepotism and non-challant attitude toward this matter until this boy is no more.”
The singer called on the son of President Bola Tinubu Seyi Tinubu to do his best to see that justice is done in the Mohbad’s case.
He said those responsible for Mohbad’s death must be fished out saying “Pounds for pounds, flesh for flesh Whether u be aiye oo, eiye oo, or sealords whatever it may be this boy sang for make us happy, jubilate, think, rejoice supported even while is in pains nd living in fear now it’s our time to do our part for him I want everyone with one voice let get him justice all hands on deck #justice for Mohbad fish dem out legal or illegal>’ he tweeted.
