The musician died on September 12 and was buried the following day.

He said that he did not know the exact house in which his late son was living with Marley.

He testified that his son left his (Joseph’s) house at the age of consent and began to assist Marley while embarking on his own career in music.

Joseph said that he saw the deceased three days before his death.

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.
