An unnamed source has revealed that the Lagos State Police have received many calls from influential people to release socialite Sam Larry after he was arrested over his alleged involvement in Mohbad’s death.

An insider at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) in Yaba, Lagos has revealed that their phone lines have been buzzing since Sam Larry’s arrest last week, especially with calls from a prominent traditional leader on the Island (whose name remains confidential) to the top dog at SCIID, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Waheed Ayilara, urging him to release Sam Larry.

The sources revealed that the individual calling made a promise to produce him whenever he is needed.

In their words; “There have been several calls to my boss to release Eletu, while the investigation continues. A renowned traditional ruler on the Island (names withheld) is always calling, pleading with my boss to release him after interrogation.

“When he became persistent, my boss directed him to the Commissioner of Police (CP), on the ground that he is the only one that can give the order for Eletu’s release or otherwise.”

The police source further stated that investigations are still ongoing concerning the singer’s death and are still exploring other leads.
