Newslens NG reports that Controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, has broken his silence regarding the ongoing feud and alleged assault involving the late 27-year-old singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad.

In a statement released on Friday, September 29th, following his arrest by the police as part of an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Afrobeat star’s death, Sam Larry claimed that the dispute stemmed from unpaid debts.
