Nigerian artiste Owodunni Ibrahim, known as Primeboy, has sued the Nigerian Police Force for allegedly violating his fundamental human rights. This follows the police declaring him wanted in 2023 for failing to respond to an invitation regarding the investigation into the death of fellow singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad. Primeboy, through his lawyer Akinpelu Ogunbona, filed the suit in the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, on October 11, 2024. He seeks to have his name removed from the wanted list and claims that the police’s actions violated his dignity.
Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, at 27, sparking widespread controversy, with Primeboy at the center of the investigation. Primeboy turned himself in to the police just 24 hours after being declared wanted.
