A viral video has captured the tense moment when a fan of the late singer Mohbad stormed the stage in an attempt to attack Naira Marley during his concert in Benin.
The incident occurred while Naira Marley, head of Marlian Music, was performing. The fan rushed on stage and tried to land punches on the artist before security quickly intervened. Sam Larry and other members of the team were also spotted on stage helping to shield Naira Marley and remove the intruder. Despite the disruption, the singer managed to continue his performance.
The event comes only weeks after Naira Marley released a lengthy video on YouTube where he shared 19 points to defend himself against accusations linked to Mohbad’s death. Mohbad, who passed away in Lagos on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27, left behind a wave of controversy and grief that gave rise to the #Justice4Mohbad movement.
Although Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Zinoleesky have all denied involvement—pointing out that they were out of the country 48 hours before Mohbad’s passing—many fans of the late singer remain unconvinced. The attempted attack in Benin reflects the ongoing tension surrounding the case and how strongly emotions are still running among Mohbad’s supporters.
