Shubomi Fashola, the sister of Nigerian rapper Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, has expressed her distress over her brother's prolonged detention.

Naira Marley, along with socialite Balogun Eletu, known as Sam Larry, was remanded by a magistrate court in Yaba, Lagos State, on October 4, 2023. This detention stemmed from allegations of bullying the late former Marlian Music signee Mohbad.

Despite the Lagos State Police Command's request for a 30-day remand to continue their investigation, Magistrate Adeola Olatunbosun decided on a 21-day remand. 

In response to the ongoing detention, Shubomi voiced her concerns, asserting that her brother's nearly 30-day detention without charges, evidence, or sufficient witnesses constitutes a violation of his human rights.

She further claimed that her brother's detention was motivated by an attempt to appease a social media uproar.

On her Instagram story, she wrote: “Keeping someone who willingly travelled back to help in detention for nearly 30 days with no charge, no evidence, no sufficient witness is a violation of his human rights. Keeping him in custody to appease social media and the internet mob is crazy.

“If you have evidence against him for anything he’s been accused of, charge him! But if you don’t, release him. It shouldn’t take this long for the investigation to be done.

“We all want the truth! We all want justice. What is the delay? We’ve already lost one person; trying to lynch another is not going to bring about justice. I pray nobody experiences being accused of an atrocity you have no hand in. God is in control!”
