Police Break Silence, Give Reason For Re-Arresting Mohbad’s Friend

In connection to the death of Popular singer, Mohbad, the Lagos State Police Command on Tuesday re-arrested Afro-singer Ibrahim Owodunni, popularly known as Primeboy, during his scheduled visit to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) at Panti, Yaba.

According to police, the arrest was linked to a petition filed by Wunmi, the widow of the late singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, alias Mohbad, alleging defamation and other charges.

Sources revealed that while Primeboy was detained, his companion, Ayobami Fisayo, aka Spending, was released.

While confirming the incident, Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin said the interrogation was part of an ongoing investigation into Mohbad’s death.

_____“One of the conditions under which he (Primeboy) was granted bail during Mohbad’s case was that he would come to the state CID every Tuesday to sign just to keep an eye on him so that he wouldn’t run away. So, he came in today, and he took longer than usual.

“This is because Mohbad’s wife wrote a petition against him in which defamation of character was part of it. He was questioned on the allegation. After the questioning, I was told that the DC asked him to go. So, the SCID confirmed to me that he had left the place about five minutes ago (6.12 pm),” Police confirmed.

However, the source disclosed that Primeboy had yet to leave the police facility around 8 pm on Tuesday.
