In the early hours of Thursday, operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) stormed the residence of two fast-rising Nigerian artists — Oniyide Azeez (Zinoleesky) and Ilerioluwa Oladimeji (Mohbad) — to arrest the duo.
Mohbad and Zinoleesky, who are under Naira Marley's 'Marlian Music' imprint, were arrested in their home in the Lekki area of Lagos state.
An eyewitness identified as Mummy’s gal went on Instagram Live to show how the singers were manhandled.
According to the voices in the video, the NDLEA officials came without a search warrant, beat up the singers when they resisted and forced them into a bus.

See reactions below:
Busting Zinoleesky and Mohbad’s house could be based on intelligence reports or misinformation but doing so without a Search Warrants and manhandling them is bad.
