Since the news of
Mohbad's passing, public attention has turned to Larry as the subject of old
social media posts by the late singer which have raised concerns.
The
Lagos State Police Command has confirmed that music promoter, Balogun Eletu,
also known as Sam Larry, is now in its custody as the
probe of Afrobeats singer Mohbad’s death continues. This was made known by the Nigerian Police Public Relations Officer
SP Benjamin Hundeyin via his X account on Thursday. “Balogun Olamilekan Eletu aka Sam Larry is now in our custody.
He
is currently assisting with ongoing investigation,” Hundeyin said. Balogun Olamilekan Eletu aka Sam Larry
is now in our custody. He is currently assisting with ongoing investigation. #justice4Mohbad

The
development comes less than 24 hours after Naira Marley said he was willing to
fly back to Nigeria for investigation. According to the statement, Naira Marley
said all manner of stories had been peddled against him in respect of the death
of Mohbad, whose real name is Ilerioluwa
Aloba.
Since
the news of Mohbad’s passing, public attention has turned to Larry as the
subject of old social media posts by the late singer which have raised
concerns.
Though
no further information was given by Hundeyin on the manner of Larry’s arrest,
online reports indicate he was picked up
at the airport upon arrival in the country. Like Larry, there have been calls
for Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley’s arrest in the light of alleged clashes
with the late Mohbad who had parted ways
with Marlian Records in 2022 under less than amicable circumstances.
Responding
to the allegations against him in a statement on Tuesday, the record label
owner said, “I’m dedicated to proving my innocence and I’m cooperating with the
authorities to clear my name with sufficient evidence.” The police probe began
last week with an autopsy on Mohbad as they vowed to thoroughly probe the
circumstances
leading
to the singer’s death.
