The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed that Balogun Olamilekan Eletu, aka Sam Larry, is now in custody.

Sam Larry is being probed over the death of Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad.

The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, wrote on X: “Balogun Olamilekan Eletu aka Sam Larry is now in our custody.

“He is currently assisting with an ongoing investigation.”

This comes after Marlian Record label boss, Naira Marley, claimed he is making arrangements to return to Nigeria to honour police invitation following the ongoing investigation into Mohbad’s death.

Mohbad died under controversial circumstances on September 12, 2023.

In a video that went viral after the singer’s death, Sam Larry could be seen invading the set of a music shoot and threatening Mohbad with armed men.
