Lagos State Commissioner of Police Idowu Owohunwa, has revealed that there is no evidence linking Nigerian singer Naira Marley and his friend, Sam Larry to the tragic death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
This was announced by Commissioner Owohunwa at a press conference on Friday.
According to the Commissioner of Police, extensive investigations revealed that Naira Marley and Sam Larry were not in Nigeria at the time of Mohbad’s tragic death.
In his comments, the Commissioner did reveal another disturbing revelation. Sam Larry, Naira Marley’s companion, appears to have had physical altercations with Mohbad prior to the singer’s murder.
Sam Larry confessed to physically approaching Mohbad over a dispute involving a considerable sum of N2million, which the deceased artist allegedly collected for his mother’s burial expenses but failed to fulfil on his performance obligation during the event, according to Owohunwa.
In Commissioner’s words; There are evidence that Naira Marley and Sam Larry have nothing to do with Mohbad’s death.
“Documentary evidence shows that both Naira Marley and Sam Larry we’re not in the country during the singer’s death.
“However, there are electronic evidence that Sam Larry bullied the singer, this he admitted.
“Sam Larry admitted to physical assisting of Mohbad over the two million naira the singer collected for his mother’s burial but failed to perform during the event.”
