Splash FM, a well-known radio station network in Nigeria, has taken the decision to ban songs by Naira Marley from being played on all its stations. This decision comes as a response to the ongoing investigation surrounding the death of the late musician Mohbad.
The recent development regarding Splash FM’s ban on Naira Marley’s songs was communicated through an internal memorandum. This memo was distributed to the media organization’s staff on Monday, coinciding with the commencement of the police investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death. It provided further clarification on the reasoning behind the ban.
“In view of the sensitive nature around the death of Mohbad and the criminal procedure the police has commenced, I will urge us all to exercise discretion,” the statement said. “To this effect, Naira Marley’s songs have become NTBB (Not to be Broadcast) on our stations until further notice.”
“This is with immediate effect,” the statement reiterated.
The controversy surrounding Naira Marley in connection with Mohbad’s death has been escalating due to the mysterious circumstances of the latter’s passing.
