    Defamation: Primeboy threatens legal action against Mohbad’s mum

    A close associate of the late singer Mohbad, Owodunni Ibrahim also known as Primeboy, has responded to the allegations made by the singer’s mother Abosede Adeyemo-Aloba regarding their relationship before his death.

    In a recent online interview, the mother of the deceased singer alleged that Primeboy had an altercation with her son while he was alive.

    According to her, Primeboy became vocal about being neglected by Mohbad after he rose to stardom.

    In response, Primeboy addressed the claims through his lawyer Akinpelu Ogunbona, in a statement issued on Saturday.

    Primeboy’s legal representative emphasized that the claims made by Mohbad’s mother are unfounded and misrepresent the nature of his relationship with the late artist.

    The statement reads, “In the said interview, you alleged that our client always fought the late Mohbad and consistently complained about his neglect by the late Mohbad since the said late Mohbad rose to stardom. You also alleged that our client was advised to run away after the death of the late Mohbad so as not to be suspected regarding the death.”

    While describing her submission as a defamation of character, the singer alleged that her actions were deliberate.

    He added that this had affected the love he enjoyed from his fans.

    The statement added, “Your actions are deliberate to injure and traduce the integrity of our client who is a rising star in the music industry and your allegations in the interview have greatly and negatively impacted the affection and love being enjoyed by our client from his fans and well-wishers around the world.”

    The Lagos State Police Command has denied viral reports that Afro singer Ibrahim Owodunni, aka Primeboy, was re-arrested over the death of his colleague, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

    There were speculations on online and social media platforms that Primeboy was re-arrested on Tuesday during his visit to the State Criminal Investigation Department at Panti, Yaba.

    Recall that Primeboy, who was earlier arrested following the controversy surrounding Mohbad’s death a few months ago, has been visiting the SCID every week since the commencement of the investigation.

    A report which went viral on Tuesday alleged that he was re-arrested and detained by the Lagos police command during his Tuesday visit.

    However, when contacted on Wednesday, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, described the report as false.

    He told pressmen that the singer was allowed to go home on Tuesday to report back on Wednesday (today).

    According to him, Primeboy is being interrogated but not detained at any police station.

    The Lagos State Police Command has re-rarrested singer, Ibrahim Owodunni, popularly known as Primeboy, during his scheduled visit to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) at Panti, Yaba.

    Primeboy’s arrest occurred on Tuesday morning, in the company of Ayobami Fisayo, also known as Spending, as part of ongoing investigations.

    According to sources who spoke with Punch, said both Primeboy and Spending had been under instructions to report weekly to the SCID since the investigation into the untimely death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known professionally as Mohbad, began.

    While Spending was released after Tuesday’s visit, Primeboy was detained by the police for further questioning.

    The investigation aims to uncover the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death, with Primeboy’s involvement and potential connection being scrutinized by law enforcement officials.

    The Lagos State Police Command has yet to release an official statement detailing the reasons behind Primeboy’s re-arrest or the specifics of the allegations against him.
