Owodunni Ibrahim, a close friend of the late Nigerian rapper, Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, has refuted the claim made by the police that his failure to respond to an invitation led to him being declared wanted.
Primeboy was declared wanted by the police on Wednesday after allegedly not appearing at the police station two weeks after an invitation was supposedly sent to him in connection with the ongoing investigation into Mohbad’s death.
However, Primeboy, who voluntarily surrendered himself for investigation less than 24 hours later, has denied ever receiving an invitation from the police.
Speaking to TVC, he stated that there was no way he would have ignored a police invitation if he had received one. He explained that he had been contemplating visiting the police station to clarify his position due to accusations against him on social media even before he was declared wanted. However, he was advised to wait for the police to invite him officially.
Primeboy said, “That’s a big lie. How will I receive any message from the police and refuse them? Even before this wanted issue, I even wanted to turn myself in. I wanted to go and explain myself at the station because people started accusing me wrongly, but the people I called said I should chill and wait for the police to invite me. So I kept on waiting, and suddenly I just found myself being wanted online yesterday.”
He also accused Omowunmi, the wife of the late Mohbad, of wrongly accusing him online over the death of his childhood friend.

“I want justice for Mohbad. Why will his wife go online and start framing me? That’s wrong.”
On how he feels about the death of his friend, Primeboy said it is a very sad pain for him to bear. He added that Mohbad was not just a friend to him, but a close one whom he once accommodated at his parents’ home.
