The mother of Primeboy, also known as Ibrahim Owodunni, a boyhood friend of the late musician Mohbad, has pleaded for assistance after her son was detained by the Lagos police.
Iwitnesslive reports that Mohbad, a former signee of the Naira Marley-owned Marlian Record company, passed away on September 12 in a contentious fashion.
Many suspects are now being held by police as part of the inquiry into Mohbad’s death. These include the assistant nurse who attended to him just before he passed away, Feyisoya Ogedengbe, Sam Larry, Naira Marley, and Primeboy.
In a viral video posted to social media on Monday, Primeboy’s mother pleaded with Nigerians as a whole, actress Iyabo Ojo, journalist Oriyomi Hamzat, and others to step in, saying, “I do not want to lose my kid.”
She also said she raised Primeboy “to be of good behaviour”, arguing that “I do not have a child that can perpetrate such an act”.
“My fellow Nigerians. My patriotic Nigerians, I am addressing this to you. I came out because of you. I beg you in the name of God have mercy on me. Iyabo Ojo, as you are going and coming, you will not experience evil. I know you always say the truth.
“Please I don’t have anything and anybody. I’m from a humble background. That’s why I taught my children how to be content with whatever they have. All mothers please stand for me. He is my first child. I don’t want to lose him. Do not let them use my son to settle war. Hamzat, please help me. Your children will not go missing. Ibrahim and I were also saddened by Mohbad’s death too. There is no killer in my lineage.
“That Mohbad you are talking about, once lived with me and my children. Come and ask in our area. We stayed 24 hours together. Mohbad paid for where I’m selling outside. They have used Mohbad to sadden me. Do not allow them to take away Ibrahim from me.”
