A petition written by the late Mohbad alleged threat to life by Sam Larry and others surfaced online days after the singer’s death.

The Police Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said the Force will look into the petition made by the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, against music promoter, Samson Balogun, aka Sam Larry.

The petition alleged that Sam Larry and 15 others stormed a video shoot where Mohbad and another artiste, Zlatan Ibile, were working and unleashed violence. Sharing a copy of the petition on his X page on Tuesday, Olumuyiwa Adejobi tweeted, “We will look into the alleged police negligence on this case.”

The Lagos Annex, Force Criminal Investigation Department of the Nigeria Police Force, Zone 2, Alagbon, to whom the letter was addressed, said that it had invited Sam Larry and others, following the receipt of the June 27 petition, but Mohbad was absent.

Responding, the Police Force Public Relations Officer added, “We also need to know why he declined the invitation or appearance at the office. There are many things to find out and clarify. And all will be done.”

Recollect that, Mohbad, a former singer on Marlian Records owned by Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, died last week Tuesday, August 12, 2023, at the age of 27 under questionable circumstances, with many people requesting a thorough investigation and review into his untimely exit.

Meanwhile, traffic in the early morning of Tuesday, September 19, 2023, within Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, suffered some disruptions as hundreds of youths filed out to protest and demand justice over Mohbad’s sudden death.

The Lagos State Governor in a statement also commiserated with the family and fans of the former Marlian Records signee.

The statement read, “We feel the pains of losing such a talented and promising young man, who made a name for himself in a highly competitive industry. May the Almighty grant his soul rest and comfort his bereaved family and fans.”

In addition to the police special investigative team in Lagos to probe the death of Mohbad, “Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu has invited the DSS to join the investigation and widen the dragnet with inter-agency collaboration and use of best-in-class technology to unearth the truth.”

Expressing further, “Mr. Sanwo-Olu has directed that those who may have played any role whatsoever in any event leading to the death of MohBad be made to face the law after a thorough investigation.”

“Consequently, the DSS has also joined the investigation so as to get justice for the youngster, his family, and teeming fans,” it added.

In a related development, a Human Rights Lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has written the Chief Coroner of Lagos State, demanding a coroner’s inquest into the death of the late popular musician.

Falana made the demand following the death of the musician, who died on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, and was buried the next day.

The senior lawyer’s request for a coroner inquest was contained in a letter to the Chief Coroner, High Court of Lagos State in Ikeja.
