Ibrahim Owodunni, known as ‘Primeboy’ and a childhood friend of the late singer Mohbad, has filed a lawsuit against the Nigeria Police Force, alleging a violation of his fundamental human rights. The lawsuit was submitted to the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, on October 11, 2024.
According to DAILY POST, the Lagos State Police Command declared Primeboy wanted on October 4, 2023, for failing to respond to their invitation during the investigation into Mohbad’s tragic death. Primeboy turned himself into the police the following day.
In a statement released by his lawyer, Akinpelu Ogunbona, on October 17, Primeboy is seeking a court order to remove his name from the police wanted list. He argues that the special police bulletin declaring him wanted “violates his right to dignity and respect as a human being.”
Ogunbona stated, “Primeboy has sued the police through an originating motion filed on October 11 at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos. His requests to the court include a declaration that the special police gazette bulletin issued by the IGP’s office declaring him wanted contravenes his right to dignity. Additionally, Primeboy is asking the court to remove his name from the wanted list, among other requests.”
This legal action follows Primeboy’s recent threat to sue Mohbad’s mother, Abosede Adeyemo-Aloba, for defamation.
