Meanwhile, two radio stations in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, have placed a ban on all songs from Afeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley.

Splash 105.5 FM in an internal memo that was sent to its staff on Monday, noted that the decision was taken in view of the sensitive nature of the death of the musician.
The statement read: “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 stations until further notice. This is with immediate effect,”
Agidigbo 88.7 FM, on the other hand, announced that it has ceased to air all songs from Marlian Records.
The announcement was made public on Monday night by the founder of the radio station, Dr. Oriyomi Hamzat.
He said: “From today, all songs from Marlian music are forbidden at Agidigbo.
“We did not say they were the ones who killed him (Mohbad), but all songs from their music label have been henceforth cancelled.”
