Consequently, he was taken into custody by the Lagos State Police Command to ā€œassistā€ in the ongoing investigation into Mohbadā€™s demise after he returned to the country from Kenya on Thursday.

However, Sam Larry in a statement released on Friday, claimed he stormed the set of the music shoot to retrieve the sum of N2 million he paid to the late rapper to perform at his motherā€™s annual remembrance after he failed to show up at the event.

He said he has been in Kenya since August 20th in a bid to find a ā€œnew African actā€ that can perform at his motherā€™s concert this year.

The statement read, ā€œTwo years ago, I gave Ileri [Mohbad] N2m to perform at my motherā€™s annual remembrance concert at Ikorodu, he boy never turned up. So, I called him to ask why.

ā€œHe then said he was not feeling well and when I asked for a refund, he said he lost his phone and money recently when the NDLEA raided his place in the process and since he was leaving Marlian Records, he is now broke, with no commitment to repay.

I then left, all for me to later hear that this same boy was having a musical video shoot the next door, practically next street to my house, so I went there to ask for my money again, we had an argument that lasted 5 minutes, even one of his friends insisted he was going pay the money, up till today one kobo they have not paid me, this was early last year. I have since then moved on”

The statement read further,

ā€œI traveled to Kenya to find new African act that can perform at my motherā€™s concert this year.

I have been away since August 20!, till now I donā€™t know anything other than what was written in the blogs and press.

Also, I donā€™t even know where he lives, I only know his former label boss and their house. I donā€™t know any nurse or doctor or hospital, I donā€™t know anything about his movement, I donā€™t have that time, I have lost a lot more money than that before, you win some you loose some.ā€
