A petition authored by the late Nigerian artist Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as MohBad, has recently come to light online. The petition raises concerns of an alleged threat to life involving music promoter Samson Erinfolami Balogun, aka Sam Larry, and several others.
According to the petition, Sam Larry and 15 accomplices reportedly disrupted a video shoot in which the deceased artist and another artist, Zlatan Ibile, were involved. They were purportedly armed and made threats of violence. Subsequently, they caused extensive damage, estimated at over N5 million, to equipment at the location and assaulted the deceased, who narrowly escaped with injuries.
Furthermore, the petition alleges that Sam Larry falsely claimed to be acting on behalf of Oba Elegushi of Lagos State.
“Sir, I call on your good office to save my life from the above mentioned persons and bring them to book,” the petition partly read.
MohBad, a talent under Marlian Records, the label founded by singer Naira Marley, who is a well-known associate of Sam Larry, tragically passed away on Tuesday, September 12.
The petition dated 27th June, 2023 read,
“PETITION OF THREAT TO LIFE, MALICIOUS DAMAGE OF PROPERTIES VALUED THE SUM OF FIVE MILLION NAIRA, ASSAULT OCCASIONING HARM, OPPRESSION AND CONDUCT LIKELY TO CAUSE BREACH OF PEACE AGAINST SAM LARRY ELEGUSHI, ELELE, OBELE AND OTHERS
“I of the above name and address, a law abiding citizen and a Musician bring to your notice the assault and threat to my life by the above mentioned persons.
