Balogun Olamilekan Eletu, nicknamed Sam Larry, is now being held, according to the Lagos State Police Command.
Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad, was a Nigerian musician whose death is the subject of an investigation into Sam Larry.
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.
