The police have confirmed that they have arrested Lagos socialite, Sam Larry, in connection with the death of 27-year-old singer and songwriter, Promise Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

Sam Larry was apprehended at the Lagos airport upon his return to Nigeria after he was accused of being involved in Mohbad’s death, which occurred on September 25, 2023.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, announced the arrest on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Thursday night. He said Sam Larry was assisting the police with the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.

Sam Larry came under fire on social media after videos of him and some people harassing Mohbad surfaced online.

In one of the videos, Mohbad and Zlatan were on set for a music video when Sam Larry, who is said to be an ally of Naira Marley, stormed the scene with some boys and targeted Mohbad, who ran away in fear.

The video sparked outrage among Nigerians on social media, who attacked Sam Larry on his Instagram page for bullying and threatening Mohbad. They also blamed him for Mohbad’s death, which was reportedly caused by a drug overdose.

Sam Larry has not commented on the allegations or his arrest. He has also disabled comments on his Instagram page.

The arrest of Sam Larry is a significant development in the investigation into Mohbad’s death. It remains to be seen whether Larry will be charged with any crimes, but his arrest is a sign that the police are taking the case seriously.
