The Lagos State Police Command on Tuesday confirmed that Ibrahim Owodunni aka Primeboy was interrogated at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba over a petition filed by Wunmi, the widow of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Primeboy was arrested during a scheduled visit to the SCID alongside Ayobami Fisayo aka Spending.
According to The PUNCH, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said that the afro singer was questioned over alleged defamation of character and other allegations cited in Wunmi’s petition.
Hundeyin said, “One of the conditions under which he (Primeboy) was granted bail during the 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 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).”
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.
The witnesses requested to testify before the court include, Primeboy, Spending and Boluwatife Adeyemo aka Darosha; all of whom were alleged to have been with the deceased at the material time.
Mohbad died on September 12 at the age of 27, with circumstances surrounding his death sparking controversies on social media.
His death also led to the arrest of Naira Marley, and controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, aka Sam Larry, amongst others.
