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 Punch, Primeboy was apprehended on Tuesday morning, March 12, during his visit to the State Criminal Investigation Department at Panti, Yaba, along with a witness identified as Ayobami Fisayo, also known as Spending.
Mohbad tragically passed away on September 12 at the age of 27, under controversial circumstances that sparked outrage and prompted fans to demand a police investigation and prosecution of those responsible.
In response to the public outcry, singer Naira Marley, Lagos socialite Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, Primeboy, and others were initially arrested and later released on bail. Primeboy and Spending had been instructed to report to the SCID weekly as part of the ongoing investigation into Mohbad’s death.
While Spending was released on the same day, Primeboy was detained following his arrest. A source informed the publication, “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.”
