The statement provided detailed information about the suspect and offered a reward of N1 million to anyone providing useful information leading to his arrest.

The statement reads: “Following his failure to respond to the police’s invitation during the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as MohBad, the Lagos State Police Command hereby declares Owodunni Ibrahim, aka Primeboy, as wanted.”
