Nigerians have reacted to the video of an Ilorin-born Islamic cleric ‘forcing’ Nigerian singer Naira Marley and Lagos socialite Sam Larry to say amen in agreement to prayer regarding those involved in the death of the late Mohbad.
Recall that Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27.
His death generated controversies across the country and beyond, prompting the Lagos State Government to direct a coroner’s inquest into the death.
Mohbad’s former record label boss, Naira Marley and Sam Larry were also arrested over involvement in the singer’s death, but the duo have denied the claim.
Truetells Nigeria learnt the Imam had paid Naira Marly a visit at his home, but things took a different turn when he began praying for sudden death to meet those involved in the death of Mohbad.
The cleric also said those involved in Mohbad’s death will not find peace.
However, Sam Larry and Naira, who seemed uncomfortable, struggled to say amen to the prayer until the Imam compelled them to do so, which generated reactions from some Nigerians.

Your reaction comes off as involuntary and unplanned. I heard they brought the Alfa, and during the course of the Alfa prayers, he made that impromptu prayer point. It’s well.”

PS: They are both strong Muslim believers; they are currently fasting, and they know the implications of saying amen to any prayer during this period….. That’s why they are feeling reluctant to say amen…”
