Late singer Mohbad’s childhood friend, Ibrahim Owodunni, popularly known as Primeboy, has taken legal action against the Nigeria Police Force, alleging a violation of his fundamental human rights.
The lawsuit, filed on October 11, 2024, at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, comes after Primeboy was declared wanted by the Lagos State Police Command on October 4, 2023, for failing to honour an invitation regarding investigations into Mohbad’s tragic death. Following the declaration, Primeboy voluntarily surrendered himself to the police the next day.
In a statement issued on Thursday, October 17, by his lawyer, Akinpelu Ogunbona, Primeboy is now seeking a court order for the police to remove his name from the wanted list, asserting that the declaration violated his right to dignity as a human being.
Ogunbona detailed Primeboy’s legal pursuit, stating: *“Primeboy has sued the police via an originating motion filed on October 11 before the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos. His prayers to the court include a declaration that the special police gazette bulletin issued by the office of the IGP declaring Primeboy wanted was a contravention of Primeboy’s right to respect for the dignity of his human person.”
Additionally, Primeboy is requesting the court to delist his name from the wanted list, among other legal remedies. This lawsuit follows closely on the heels of Primeboy’s recent threats to file a defamation case against Mohbad’s mother, Abosede Adeyemo-Aloba.
As the drama unfolds, public interest in the investigation into Mohbad's death continues to grow, with fans and the media watching closely to see how these legal battles will play out.
