The Lagos State Police Command on Thursday confirmed the arrest of controversial music promoter, Balogun Eletu, popularly known as Sam Larry over an ongoing investigation into the circumstances leading to the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba popularly known as Mohbad.
Details have now emerged about how the popular music promoter was arrested in Lagos on Thursday.
A source in the Police force who spoke on the condition of anonymity said he was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Thursday evening.
He said, “Sam Larry was arrested at the airport after he arrived from Kenya. Our officers arrested him at the airport and he was immediately taken to the state police headquarters for questioning.”
Recall that Sam Larry and Naira Marley have been fingered since the demand for justice over Mohbad’s death started to gain traction.
Naira Marley has also made it known that he will travel back to the country provided his safety is guaranteed.
The police, last week, also confirmed that pathologists had concluded the autopsy conducted on Mohbad, while they awaited the result.
Hundeyin said, “Autopsy has been concluded. Awaiting results.” This development followed the exhumation of Mohbad’s corpse by a combined team of the Nigeria Police Force and Lagos State health officials.
