The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, aka Sam Larry, over his involvement in the circumstances leading to the death of the singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, made this known via a post on how X account on Thursday.
“Balogun Eletu aka Sam Larry is now in our custody. He is currently assisting with the ongoing investigation,” Hundeyin posted.
Sam Larry is one of the suspects allegedly involved in the controversies leading to the untimely death of the late singer and his arrest came after two weeks of outcry from the general public demanding his arrest and prosecution.
Recall the police had earlier invited Sam Larry and singer, Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, for questioning over Mohbad’s demise.
The police, last week, also confirmed that pathologists had concluded the autopsy conducted on Mohbad, while they await the result.
He said, “Autopsy has been concluded. Awaiting results.” This development followed the exhumation of Mohbad by a combined team of the Nigeria Police Force and health officials.
The police had also arrested the nurse who reportedly injected the deceased singer before his demise on Tuesday, September 12.
