An internal memorandum from the management of Splash FM clarified that the ongoing police investigation into Mohbad's demise motivated this action.

The post conveyed, "Good evening team. In view of the sensitive nature around the death of Mohbad and the criminal procedure, the police have commenced, I will urge us all to exercise discretion.
"To this effect, Naira Marley’s songs have become NTBB ( not to be broadcast) on our station till further notice. This is with immediate effect. Thank you.”
