Late singer Mohbad’s childhood friend, Ibrahim Owodunni, popularly known as ‘Primeboy’, has sued the Nigeria Police Force over an alleged violation of his fundamental human rights.
The lawsuit was filed at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, on October 11, 2024.
DAILY POST reports that the Lagos State Police Command declared Primeboy wanted on October 4, 2023, over failure to honour its invitation amid investigations into the tragic death of Mohbad.
Following the declaration, Primeboy surrendered himself to the police the following day.
However, in a statement issued by his lawyer, Akinpelu Ogunbona, on Thursday, October 17, Primeboy is seeking a court order to have the police remove his name from the wanted list, noting that the special police bulletin declaring him wanted “violates his right to dignity and respect as a human being.”
Ogunbona explained: “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.
“Also, Primeboy prayed the court to delist his name from the wanted list amongst other prayers.”
This comes a few days after Primeboy threatened a lawsuit against Mohbad’s mother, Abosede Adeyemo-Aloba for defamation.
