Lagos police re-arrest Mohbad’s friend, Primeboy
By Francesca Hangeior
The Lagos State Police Command has re-arrested afro singer, Ibrahim Owodunni, aka Primeboy.
It was gathered that Primeboy was arrested Tuesday morning during his visit to the State Criminal Investigation Department at Panti, Yaba, alongside Ayobami Fisayo aka Spending.
Primeboy and Spending had been asked to visit the SCID every week since the commencement of the investigation into the circumstances leading to the death of singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Primeboy was, however, detained during Tuesday’s visit while Spending was released.
“Both of them had gone to register their presence at SCID this morning as they have been asked to report every week. But when they got there, Primeboy was immediately handcuffed and detained. They allowed only Spending to go after he had signed. Primeboy has been locked up as I speak,” the source disclosed.
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said he was not aware of the arrest. He, however, promised to find out.
“I am not aware. Let me find out,” he said.
During its probe, the police declared Primeboy wanted on October 4, 2023, after which he turned himself in two days later.
Meanwhile, Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, had filed an application in January at the coroner court sitting in the Ikorodu area of the state, seeking to call more witnesses in the bid to unravel the cause of his son’s death.
