Is there a case against Naira Marley without Mohbad?
In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng Ridwan Oke talks about the condition under which Naira Marley might be prosecuted.
He said:
"The Police are still investigating the case. However, if we are working on information in public domain, the following could be observed; Naira Marley could be prosecuted if the Police are able to unravel evidences that proves his guilt. Even if he's not directly involved in his death, if there are evidence that proves bullying and/or assault, whether he did it himself or he asked others to do it, if this is proven, then he could be prosecuted."
