05 Oct Mohbad: Police declare singer Primeboy wanted, place N1m bounty

On Wednesday, the Lagos State Police Command declared a Nigerian singer, Owodunni Ibrahim aka Primeboy, wanted in connection with the investigation of Mohbad’s death.

Mohbad died on 12th September at the age of 27 under controversial circumstances.

In a video posted by an Instagram blogger Temilola Sobola on 14th September, Primeboy debunked allegations that suggested he killed his friend.

He claimed he didn’t know what happened to the deceased and was still shocked by his sudden death.

Via his official X (formerly Twitter) page on Wednesday, the Lagos State police spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed why the police wanted Primeboy.

He wrote, “Following his failure to honour a police invitation successfully sent to him since the commencement of investigation into the circumstances leading to the death of Mr Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad, the Lagos State Police Command at this moment declares Owodunni Ibrahim aka Primeboy wanted.

“Ibrahim is approximately 1.64-m tall, male, dark-complexioned with tribal marks, and Yoruba by tribe. His last known address is 3rd Power, Oke Eletu, Ikorodu.”

Mr Hundeyin urged anyone with information on Primeboy to contact the nearest police station or call in to make their reports.

Also, he disclosed that the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Idowu Owohunwa, placed an N1 million bounty on the suspect, and anyone with helpful information leading to his arrest would get the reward.

Meanwhile, Nigerians still await updates on Mohbad’s autopsy result. The two-week promise elapsed on Wednesday.
