The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed that Ibrahim Owodunni aka Primeboy was interrogated at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba on Tuesday 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.A source privy to the development told punch correspondent that Primeboy and Spending had been asked to visit the SCID every week since the commencement of the investigation into the circumstances leading to the death of Mohbad.
Primeboy was, however, detained during Tuesday’s visit while Spending was released. However, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, told punch correspondent 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).”
Meanwhile, the source disclosed that Primeboy had yet to leave the police facility during a chat with our correspondent around 8 pm.
“It is not true. A lawyer, Emmanuel, who went to bail him is still there. The IPO has not released him,” he said.
