Society Gists

Renowned Nigerian record producer, Solomon Oyeniyi, popularly known as K-Solo, finds himself facing legal repercussions for unfounded accusations made against artist and rapper, Naira Marley. On a recent appearance on Channels TV’s program, Rubbin’ Minds, K-Solo made claims alleging Naira Marley’s involvement in the tragic demise of his former signee, Mohbad.

K-Solo stated, “Naira Marley is involved [in Mohbad’s death]. He cannot tell me he is not involved. He has a hand in his death.” These claims, without any substantial evidence (developments have clearly shown Naira is not directly or remotely connected to his death) have caused serious damage to Naira Marley’s reputation.

The legal team representing Naira Marley will be initiating legal action against K-Solo for defamation of character. It is essential to emphasize that making unfounded allegations and false statements can have far-reaching consequences. Accusations of this nature not only tarnish the image of the accused but also perpetuate baseless claims that have spread like wild fire because elements like K-Solo and others (especially two known actresses) have speared head the campaign of calumny against the person of Naira for reasons best known to them.

In time past, we kept quiet because we want to honour the memory of the dead and honour the relationship with him but we realized many people are setting negative agenda and spreading negative narrative against Naira Marley. We will no longer fold our hands and watch people with negative agenda drag Naira Marley, neither would we allow them achieve their aim of declaring him guilty for offense he did not commit at all cost.
From this moment on anyone who alleges must present concrete proof not only on the internet but also in Court of Law. Every falsehood and rumor will be met with severity and full weight of law.
Naira Marley has consistently refuted any involvement in Mohbad’s tragic passing and has vehemently denied the allegations put forth by K-Solo. We will give K-Solo the opportunity of providing evidence and proving his accusation, same honour he didn’t extend to Naira-fair hearing.

We urge all concerned parties to avoid further spreading of unverified information that can harm reputations and hinder the truth from emerging.

It is Justice we seek for Mohbad and Justice we must get, we cannot seek Justice for one and expect another person to be declared guilty for an offense he didn’t commit.
