Primeboy, Friend of Mohbad, Re-Arrested by Police. Afrobeat singer Ibrahim Owodunni, also known as Primeboy, has been re-arrested by the Lagos State Police Command in connection with the death of Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
According to reports from Punch, Primeboy was detained on Tuesday morning, March 12, when he visited the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Panti, Yaba, accompanied by a witness named Ayobami Fisayo, known as Spending.
Mohbad’s death on September 12, at the age of 27, under controversial circumstances, sparked outrage and protests from supporters demanding a thorough police investigation and prosecution of those responsible for his demise.
Following various allegations, singer Naira Marley, Lagos socialite Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, and Primeboy, among others, were initially detained and later released on bail.
Primeboy and Spending had reportedly been instructed to report to the SCID weekly since the investigation into Mohbad’s death began. While Primeboy was arrested on March 12, Spending was released the same day.
A source stated, “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.”
