The sudden passing of Nigerian musician Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad, has left many in deep sadness. However, it has also brought to light an ongoing dispute between the late singer and music promoter Samson Balogun, also known as Sam Larry and others. In this article, we will delve into the details of the case and the latest developments surrounding it.
The Initial Petition:
Initially, on June 27, 2023, Mohbad submitted a petition to the Lagos Annex, Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), accusing Sam Larry and 15 others of various offenses. The late singer claimed that they threatened his life, caused malicious damage, assaulted him, and oppressed him. He mentioned that they disrupted a video shoot, resulting in damage to equipment worth over N5 million and physical assault.
Upon receiving the petition, the Lagos Annex of the FCID took action, and Sam Larry and the other suspects were invited for questioning. They cooperated by providing their statements. However, Mohbad reportedly failed to show up to defend his case, adopt his petition, or provide evidence to support his allegations.

The Force PRO, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, released an official statement assuring the public that the police would diligently investigate Mohbad’s death. The Lagos State Commissioner of Police had been tasked with uncovering the truth behind the singer’s passing. Adejobi also urged individuals with valuable information to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation.
Social Media Backlash:
The dispute between Mohbad and Sam Larry gained significant attention on social media. A video surfaced showing Larry and his associates harassing Mohbad during a music video shoot, leading to a public outcry. Many social media users criticized Larry for his alleged bullying behavior towards the late singer.
As the investigation into Mohbad’s alleged assault case continues, it remains a topic of interest and concern among the public. The circumstances surrounding the dispute and its connection to the untimely death of the young artist highlight the importance of resolving such conflicts through legal means and ensuring justice is served.
