Controversial event promoter Samson Erinfolami Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, is now in police custody, facing inquiries into the ongoing investigation of Mohbad’s death.

This information was confirmed by Benjamin Hundeyin, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Command, in a concise statement on his Twitter account late on Thursday, September 28, 2023.

“Balogun Olamilekan Eletu aka Sam Larry is now in our custody. He is currently assisting with ongoing investigation,” Hundeyin’s statement read.

Sam Larry is among the suspected individuals linked to the events that may have led to the young Afrobeats musician’s death.

The police have initiated investigations to uncover the circumstances surrounding the 27-year-old artist’s death. An autopsy has already been completed after his remains were exhumed last Thursday.

Mohbad’s mysterious death on September 12 has been tied to reported struggles with depression and other mental health issues, possibly stemming from his controversial exit from his former record label, Marlian Records, owned by Naira Marley.

Sam Larry and Naira Marley are well-known associates, and after Mohbad’s death, videos capturing his mistreatment by Sam Larry surfaced online, raising suspicions of their potential involvement in his demise.

Another video circulated on social media in which the deceased asked Nigerians to hold his former boss (Naira Marley) accountable if he ever passed away.

These revelations have elevated both Sam Larry and Naira Marley to prime suspects in the ongoing investigations, as Nigerians continue to demand justice for the late singer.

Though the show promoter released a video to debunk his alleged involvement in Mohbad’s death, saying, “Those videos circulating online are old,” thus shouldn’t be used to pronounce him culpable, Nigerians have insisted he submit himself to the police to clear his name.

For his part, Naira Marley has also denied having anything to do with the events leading to Mohbad’s death.

The singer, who has been outside the country since the incident, promised to return and surrender himself to the police to assist in the ongoing investigations, but with a proviso that the authority must guarantee his safety.

If Tinubu can’t transform Nigeria, no politician can – Seyilaw

The Pledge

Nigerian comedian, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has said if President Bola Tinubu is unable to transform the country, then no politician will be able to do so.

Seyilaw, who was among the celebrities who campaigned for Tinubu in the build-up to the 2023 presidential election, insisted that despite the current hardship and insecurity, the former Lagos governor is still the best man for the job.

He claimed that the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the Labour Party’s candidate, Peter Obi, wouldn’t have performed better if any of them had won, going by their track records, which he was familiar with.

The comedian said his support for President Tinubu has made him lose patronage from some Nigerians but that he has no regrets.

He stated that he would be much happier when his children enjoy the benefits of President Tinubu’s reforms in the future.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Teju Babyface podcast, Seyilaw said, “Some Nigerians hate me for supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. They don’t even support my shows anymore. You might not support me today but I will want to be 70 and 80 and I see my children enjoying the benefits of the sacrifices I have made today.

“I tell you wholeheartedly, not with any sentiment, if Bola Ahmed Tinubu cannot redirect the ship of Nigeria, no politician currently can do it. None. Not Atiku, not Peter Obi. Not with what I know about all of them.
