During the early hours of Thursday, February 24, Nigerian recording artistes, Zinoleesky and Mohbad, both talents of Naira Marley’s record label, Marlians records were arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.

Femi Babafemi, the spokesperson of the NDLEA in an interview gathered by News Round The Clock explained why the two Marlian record signee; Oniyide Azeez popularly known as Zinoleesky and Ilerioluwa Oladimeji better known as Mohbad, were arrested.

Babafemi explained that the singers were arrested following credible information that they were in possession of hard drugs.

The spokesman of NDLEA had this to say; ”Yes, they have been arrested because we had reliable information that they were in possession of drugs.

We moved in on them and recovered drugs. That is why five of them were arrested; three males and two females.”
