CityNews Nigeria recalls that, in 2023, the Nigerian Police had declared Primeboy wanted following his failure to honour a police invitation successfully sent to him since the commencement of the investigation into the circumstances leading to the death of the singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
However, in a brief statement to Punch on Thursday, Primeboy’s lawyer, Akinpelu Ogunbona, said the singer was demanding the removal of his name from the wanted list, amongst other prayers.
The suit was filed before the Federal High Court, in the Ikoyi area of the state.
“Primeboy has sued the police via an originating motion filed before the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos on October 11.
“He prayed to the court for a couple of reliefs, some of which included 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. Primeboy also prayed the court to delist his name from the wanted list amongst other prayers,” the statement read.
Following Mohbad’s death, Primeboy has found himself at the epic centre of the ensuing controversy.
He also surrendered himself to the police barely 24 hours after he was declared wanted.
Mohbad died on September 12 2023 at the age of 27, with circumstances surrounding his death sparking controversies on social media.
