Speaking in Yoruba, Sam Larry stated, “I want to state unequivocally that I had absolutely no involvement in Mohbad’s tragic passing. He was not just an artist but my brother, and during his time with Marlian Records, he was well aware of my deep affection for him.
This love was not limited to him alone; even his wife can attest to it. It is vital to understand that having disagreements or conflicts with someone does not translate to a desire for their demise. I categorically deny any accusations suggesting that I played a role in Mohbad’s demise.”
He continued, “The videos currently circulating online are snippets from past events, dating back to last year. I urge everyone to be cautious when making judgments based on such clips. If you require further clarification, you can reach out to Zlatan, who can corroborate my statements.”
This development comes amidst an announcement by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who assured the public of a diligent and thorough police investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s tragic passing.
