Since the news of Mohbad’s passing, public attention has turned to Larry as the subject of old social media posts by the late singer which have raised concerns.

Though no further information was given by Hundeyin on the manner of Larry’s arrest, online reports indicate he was picked up at the airport upon arrival in the country.

Like Larry, there have been calls for Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley’s arrest in the light of alleged clashes with the late Mohbad who had parted ways with Marlian Records in 2022 under less than amicable circumstances.

Responding to the allegations against him in a statement on Tuesday, the record label owner said, “I’m dedicated to proving my innocence and I’m cooperating with the authorities to clear my name with sufficient evidence.”

The police probe began last week with an autopsy on Mohbad as they vowed to thoroughly probe the circumstances leading to the singer’s death.
