Court dismisses case against Naira Marley

A magistrate court on Tuesday has dismissed the car theft case against Azeez Fashola known as ‘Naira Marley’ and three other defendants.

The dismissal of the case is following an out of court settlement with the complainant Adelekan Ademola.

The chief magistrate Tajudeen Elias threw out the four-count charge of conspiracy, stealing, assault, and obstructing the police against the defendants.

Naira Marley, his two siblings Idris Fashola and Babatunde Fashola, and their cousin, Kunle Obere were the defendants in the case.

The musician was absent in court but the other defendants were present.

The magistrate court on Monday, December 16 ordered Naira Marley’s arrest over alleged car theft.

Naira Marley, however, denied allegations.
