Eko Hot Blog reports that The Lagos State Police Command has declared Primeboy, a friend of the late singer MohBad, as wanted.
Primeboy, whose real name is Owodunni Ibrahim, is a person of interest in MohBad’s death, aged 27.
The street pop singer passed away on September 12 and was laid to rest the following day.
Reports on social media suggested a potential dispute between MohBad and Primeboy before the singer’s demise.
However, Primeboy denied any involvement in the altercation with the deceased singer.
In a statement released on Wednesday by Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos police spokesperson, it was stated that Primeboy had not cooperated with the police’s invitation for questioning in connection with MohBad’s death.
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.”
“Ibrahim is approximately 1.64 meters tall, male, with a dark complexion, tribal marks, and Yoruba ethnicity. His last known address is 3rd Power, Oke Eletu, Ikorodu.”
“If located, please contact the nearest police station or call 0803 688 5727. The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Idowu Owohunwa, is offering a reward of N1,000,000 (One Million Naira Only) to anyone with useful information leading to his arrest.”
Thousands of Nigerians have called for justice for MohBad through nationwide protests.
On September 18, the Lagos police established a 13-man special investigation team to look into the singer’s death.
The state’s Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, pledged to use all available resources to apprehend those implicated in the case.
On September 21, the police conducted an autopsy on MohBad’s exhumed corpse and are awaiting the results.
