Nigerian socialite and music promoter Samson Erinfolami Balogun, widely known as Sam Larry, has made his first public appearance since surviving a tragic road accident that claimed the life of one of his close associates. A fresh video circulating online has put an end to days of uncertainty surrounding the controversial figure's health, with many Nigerians expressing surprise after seeing him on his feet.
Sam Larry Resurfaces After Deadly Crash
The clip surfaced on the night of July 10, just days after reports emerged that Sam Larry had been involved in a serious crash along the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road. The accident, which occurred on Saturday, July 4, involved a vehicle carrying the music promoter that reportedly rammed into a trailer. The crash claimed the life of one of his associates, identified as Wale, who worked as his bouncer. While Wale died at the scene, Sam Larry was immediately rushed to the hospital for medical treatment.
Rumours of Severe Injuries Circulated
Following the accident, several unverified claims surfaced online alleging that Sam Larry had sustained severe spinal injuries. Some social media users even claimed that his injuries were so serious that doctors might amputate his legs. The newly surfaced video now appears to present a different picture. In the clip, Sam Larry is seen standing unaided alongside a group of friends. The music promoter looked cheerful as those around him celebrated what they described as his recovery from the accident. The group could also be heard singing while referring to critics who had openly wished him harm after news of the crash broke.
Public Reactions to His Appearance
Although Sam Larry did not directly address the rumours surrounding his health in the video, his appearance has led many to believe he is recovering well. As expected, the video generated numerous comments online. Social media user @ecomohh stated: "These people are very insensitive oo. A bouncer actually lost his life and you’re already dancing to music on social media." Another user, @MrGeorgeAni, wrote: "He broke his silence from his hospital bed, stating he survived but would be temporarily using a wheelchair." @Faksback666 noted: "Nobody stupid reach the ones wey dey shout karma last week. The bouncer and the other guy that died what did they do?"
