Nigerian singer Owodunni Ibrahim, widely recognized as Primeboy, has voluntarily surrendered to the Lagos State Police Command. This move comes after the police declared Primeboy wanted and offered a reward of N1 million for information leading to his capture.
Primeboy’s legal troubles stem from his alleged refusal to cooperate with the police investigation into the tragic death of fellow singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, who was better known as Mohbad.
In an official statement released via their X handle on Thursday, Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, confirmed that Primeboy turned himself in following his wanted status. Hundeyin added that the singer is now in police custody, where he will undergo interrogation and face other necessary legal actions.

He wrote,
“Following his being declared wanted, Owodunni Ibrahim Oluwatosin aka Primeboy has turned himself in. He has, immediately, been taken into custody for interrogation and other necessary actions.
“The Lagos State Police Command once again assures family, friends, fans of Mohbad and the general public that no stone will be left unturned in ensuring a most diligent investigation. The Command equally assures that all persons found culpable in the death of Mr Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad will definitely be brought to justice.”
Mohbad, a previous artist signed to Naira Marley’s record label, tragically passed away at the age of 27 in Lagos under circumstances raising suspicions.
There have been accusations that Naira Marley and his associates were involved in multiple instances of physical assault against Mohbad, reportedly stemming from his decision to depart from the record label.
