Following the ongoing investigation on the death of the fast-rising Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, the Lagos State Police Command on Thursday night, arrested controversial Lagos socialite Balogun Eletu, aka Sam Larry, for further questioning on the death of the late singer.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, while confirming the development to newsmen in a telephone interview, said, “Yes, Balogun Eletu, aka Sam Larry, is now in our custody. He is currently assisting with the ongoing investigation,” Hundeyin said.
The Informant247 had earlier gathered that the police had invited Sam Larry and singer Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, for questioning over Mohbad’s demise.
The police also confirmed that pathologists had concluded the autopsy on Mohbad while awaiting 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.
