Mohbad's Dad Files Suit Retracting Legal Advice Freeing Naira Marley: "He Wants Case to Linger"

• Mohbad's Dad Joseph Aloba has taken another action concerning the case of his late son Ilerioluwa Aloba
• Mr Jospeh has filed an application before the Ikeja state high court seeking to quash the legal advice that set Naira Marley free
• The new development has triggered online rage as fans have shared their hot takes concerning the issue

It may seem as though Mohbad's father, Mr Jospeh Aloba is not pleased with the court's ruling concerning music star Naira Marley.

You will recall that an update emerged about the death of Mohbad and the claims levelled against his ex-label boss, Naira Marley and his friend, Sam Larry. The court freed both men, stirring reactions online.

However, according to a report by The Punch, Mohbad's father, Joseph Aloba, has taken a significant step in seeking justice for his son's death.

He's filed an application with the Ikeja state high court to quash the legal advice and recommendations made by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) regarding Mohbad's alleged murder case.

Aloba, who's suing on behalf of himself and the Aloba family, named the Lagos State Attorney General, Lawal Pedro (SAN), and the DPP, Dr. Babajide Martins, as respondents.

His lawyer, Dr. Wahab Shittu (SAN), is seeking a court order to overturn the DPP's advice, citing three key grounds.

Firstly, Aloba claimed that the DPP's advice denied him a fair hearing, as guaranteed under Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria.

Secondly, he argued that the DPP's advice preempted the Coroner's inquest proceedings, which have yet to conclude. Lastly, Aloba alleged that vital suspects implicated in the Coroner's proceedings were freed due to the DPP's advice.
