Popular Ibadan-based radio station, Splash FM 105.5 has banned the airing of songs by Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, until further notice.
The action comes in response to the widespread criticism surrounding Marley following the untimely demise of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji, also known as MohBad.
The station’s management in a post by Aderonke Adesola, one of its presenters, has placed Marley’s songs on the “Not to Be Broadcast” list on their radio frequency.
The station sent the directive to all presenters on Monday.
The post read:
“Good evening team. In view of the sensitive nature around the death of Mohbad and the criminal procedure, the police have commenced, I will urge us all to exercise discretion.
“To this effect, Naira Marley’s songs have become NTBB ( not to be broadcast) on our station till further notice. This is with immediate effect. Thank you.”
Many people have linked Naira Marley and Sam Lally to the incident, but police have urged caution.
Police on Monday set up a special investigation team to investigate all allegations against Naira Marley, Sam Lally, and others.
