Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has expressed sympathy for Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley over his alleged involvement in the death of former signee, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba aka MohBad.

Omokri shared his thoughts on the matter in a social media post, following criticism from netizens who saw his recent interview with Naira Marley.

In the interview, Naira Marley denied any involvement in the demise of Mohbad, his ex-signee, categorising it as a paid promotion for Marley Records.

In his statement, Reno Omokri emphatically denied any financial involvement with Naira Marley, declaring: “To anyone saying Naira Marley paid me to do PR for him, let us have a spiritual pact. If it is true, may I never prosper. And if it is a lie, may God find you and judge you publicly. In Yeshua’s Name. I don’t reason like you.”

He recalled as a presidential spokesman he was falsely reported as sacked multiple times while mentioning that President Jonathan had to personally reassure him.

In light of this, he expressed empathy for those currently facing challenging circumstances, like Naira Marley.

Reno Omokri asserted that he had sought out Naira Marley to allow him to present his side of the story and that he would continue to do so, with faith guiding his actions.

Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad, passed away on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27 in a controversial manner.

Concerned fans, friends, and celebrities await the Nigerian police’s interim report, which was promised within two weeks, shedding light on the autopsy findings from Mohbad’s exhumed body.
