Fresh insights into the arrest of the well-known show promoter, Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, by the Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police Force have surfaced. Sam Larry's apprehension is connected to an ongoing investigation concerning the events leading up to the demise of the 27-year-old singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, widely recognized as Mohbad.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, confirmed this development in a statement released on Thursday night but refrained from disclosing specific details regarding the arrest.

Nonetheless, a source within the police force, as reported by Punch, has shed light on the circumstances surrounding the controversial socialite's apprehension. According to the source, Sam Larry was taken into custody at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Thursday evening upon his return from Kenya. He was promptly transported to the State Police headquarters for interrogation.

The backdrop to this incident stems from the controversial and sudden passing of Mohbad on Tuesday, September 12. In the wake of the singer's demise, there has been a clamor for the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

In response to these calls, the police have conducted an autopsy on Mohbad's remains, and the nurse who administered an injection to him prior to his demise has also been detained. The police have assured the public that further details will be provided as the investigation progresses.
