Sammy Larry, a Nigerian man accused of assaulting the late singer Mohbad on multiple occasions, has broken his silence in a video statement. In the video, he explains his relationship with Mohbad and denies any involvement in his death.
In the statement, translated to English, Sammy Larry says, "Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Wherever you might be listening to this, my name is Samson Irefolabi Balogun Eletu. In everything that is happening, Mohbad is my brother, and I like him. Even when he was at Marlians Records, he knew I loved him, and his wife also knows."
"Everyone knows I love Mohbad. Everywhere I go, whether it's Kenya or Dubai, I ask Mohbad to follow me, and I even mentioned that I'll pay Marlians Records so we can have a show."
"The fact that we're fighting doesn't necessarily involve death. I cannot kill Mohbad. I love him so much; God knows my heart. I love him, and I cannot kill him."
"I know nothing about his death. The viral video only shows what happened a long time ago. It happened last year when I wasn't even in Nigeria, and it was circulated online."
"There's a video where he was in a wheelchair, and Zlatan is my witness. You can call him and ask him if I touched Mohbad."
The statement has generated reactions on social media, with some expressing skepticism and others calling for a proper investigation into Mohbad's death.
