According to a report by Saturday PUNCH, Sam Larry voluntarily responded to the police invitation on Thursday night and has been subjected to extensive questioning by police investigators regarding his disagreements with the deceased musician.
The newsmen has learned that Sam Larry is presently in custody at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters and has not yet sought the services of legal representation as of Saturday. It is highly likely that he will remain in police custody until the following Monday.
A security source, who requested anonymity, disclosed that Sam Larry was apprehended by law enforcement officers at Murtala Muhammed Airport upon his return from Kenya on Thursday night.
"Sam Larry was arrested by policemen at the Murtala Muhammed airport last night (Thursday) after he arrived from Kenya, and he was immediately driven to the Lagos Command Headquarters in Ikeja for questioning," noted the source.
In an exclusive interview with the newsmen on Friday night, the Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated that the outcome of the police investigation would determine the course of action to be taken regarding Sam Larry.
Hundeyin also mentioned that he could not disclose the specifics of the socialite's statement to the police and indicated that Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, would soon address the press regarding the situation.
Hundeyin stated, "Sam Larry is still with us. But I’m not talking about our plans yet because he’s still under investigation, hence the outcome of our investigation will determine the lifeline of our next move. I’m not disclosing the content of his statement yet; the Commissioner of Police will address the press over the development soon, and when the CP addresses the press, I’d be able to talk about our investigation so far."
Earlier on Thursday night, SP Hundeyin had confirmed that Sam Larry was in police custody and cooperating with the ongoing investigation.
It's worth noting that both Sam Larry and singer Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, had been summoned by the police for questioning in connection with Mohbad's death.
Last week, the police also confirmed that the autopsy on Mohbad had been completed, with results pending. This development followed the exhumation of Mohbad's body by a joint team of the Nigeria Police Force and health officials.
