He added that he saw the deceased’s casket only in a picture.

According to him, the deceased assured him that he would be able to handle his dispute with Marley.

He also told the coroner that the deceased bought a car for him after reconciling with his mother.

At the beginning of proceedings, the coroner commiserated with Joseph on his son’s death, promising that justice would be served in the case.

A Yaba Magistrate’s Court, Lagos State, on October 4, remanded Marley and a Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu (a.k.a Sam Larry) in police custody over the death of Mohbad.
