Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have once again apprehended Nigerian singer, Ibrahim Owodunni, aka Primeboy over circumstances leading to the death of singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
According to multiple online news platforms, Owodunni was detained on Tuesday morning during his visit to the State Criminal Investigation Department at Panti, Yaba, alongside one Ayobami Fisayo aka Spending.
Sources familiar with the incident revealed that Primeboy and Spending had been asked to visit the SCID every week since the commencement of the investigation into the demise of 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.
Mohbad died on September 12 at the age of 27, with circumstances surrounding his death sparking controversies on social media.
Being a former record label signee of Marlian Music owned by Naira Marley, Mohbad left the label in February 2022.
The state Police Command had on September 18, 2023, inaugurated a 13-man special investigation team to probe the death.
His death also led to the arrest of Naira Marley, and controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, aka Sam Larry, amongst others.
