Nigeria Police Force on Tuesday has announced that it would investigate the petition filed by the late musician Mohbad accusing event promoter Samson Balgun, commonly known as Sam Larry, and 15 other people of police incompetence.
Recall that Mohbad had complained to the police about Sam Larry and 15 other people for “threats to life, malicious damage of properties valued at the sum of five million naira, assault, occasional harm, oppression, and conduct likely to cause breach of peace” before he passed away.
The petition claimed that Sam Larry and 15 other armed attackers attacked Mohbad at a video shoot on June 25, 2023. They allegedly destroyed equipment worth more than N5 million and assaulted the singer, who “narrowly escaped with injuries.”
Many people accused the police of incompetence as a result of the petition, which appeared online shortly after the artist passed away.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the PRO of the Nigerian Police agency, responded by announcing that the agency would look into the petition’s purported carelessness.
Sharing a copy of the petition via his X handle, he wrote, “We will look into the alleged police negligence on this case.”
