Joseph informed Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, the coroner, that he and his son had lived together for 18 years but that he was unaware of the specific residence where his late son cohabited with Naira Marley.

He explained that his son left his home when he reached the age of consent and began assisting Marley while pursuing his own music career.

Joseph revealed that he had last seen his son three days before his death and had only seen a photograph of his casket. His son had assured him that he could resolve his differences with Naira Marley.

He also stated that the deceased’s property was under the custody of his mother-in-law and that his son had frequently mentioned his possessions being held by his wife and her family. Joseph claimed that when they lived with Naira Marley, Mohbad’s wife had put sleeping pills in his food.
