The Elegushi Royal Family of Lagos State on Thursday disowned Samsom Erinfolami Balogun, better known as Sam Larry, the controversial socialite and ally of singer, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley.

This is coming after a petition by the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, surfaced online, where the deceased alleged that his life was under threat and sought police protection from Sam Larry and others.

Also in a video circulating online, Mohbad, whose remains were laid to rest on Wednesday, was seen being assaulted by some people allegedly led by Sam Larry during a video shoot.

In the video, Mohbad and Zlatan Ibile, were on set for a music video when Larry stormed the scene with some boys targeting the late singer.

He (Mohbad) later scampered to safety with Zlatan preventing Sam Larry and others from assaulting the late singer.

However, in the petition that surfaced online and dated June 25, 2023, the late singer urged the Nigeria Police Force to protect him from Sam Larry and his team.

The petition, titled, ‘Petition of threat to life, malicious damage of properties valued at the sum of Five Million Naira, assault occasioning harm, oppression and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace against Sam Larry Elegushi, Elele, Obele and others’, was addressed to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex, Alagbon in Ikoyi, Lagos.
