Many Nigerians questioned why SamLarry and other people were never charged and why he was not given the protection he asked.
In contrast, the late singer Mohbad failed to appear at the police station to adopt and defend his petition and also provide proof of the allegations, according to Oluniyi Ogundeyi, a spokesperson for the Lagos Annex of the FCID, in a conversation with Punch. This allegedly prevented the police from prosecuting the suspects, if necessary.
He added that SamLarry, through a lawyer, had filed a counter-petition charging Mohbad of character defamation.
