Mohbad: ‘I don’t want to lose my son’ — Primeboy’s mum cries out

Published

The mother of Ibrahim ‘Primeboy’ Owodunni has cried out for help over the detention of her son by the Lagos police with respect to the investigation into the death of Mohbad.

Mohbad died on September 12 and was buried the next day.

The circumstances surrounding his death have continued to stir up controversies on social media.

Several suspects — including Feyisola Ogedengbe, Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Primeboy — are currently in police custody amid the investigation into Mohbad’s death.

In a now-viral video on Monday, Primeboy’s mother begged Iyabo Ojo, the actress, journalist Oriyomi Hamzat and Nigerians at large to “intervene,” adding that “I do not want to lose my son”.

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 patriot Nigerians I am addressing this to you. I came out because of you. I beg you in God’s name have mercy on me. Iyabo Ojo, as you are going and coming, you will not experience evil. I know you always say the truth. It is me, Iya Prime talking. Primeboy’s mother is the one speaking,” she said.

“Please I do not have anything. I do not have nobody. I am from a humble background. That is why I taught my children how to be content with whatever they have. All mothers please stand for me. He is my first child. Do not allow me to lose him. Do not let them use my son to settle war. Hamzat, please help me. Your children will not go missing. I do not have a child that can perpetrate such an act. Ibrahim and I were also saddened by Mohbad’s death too.

“I sell rice and I do not step out of my boundary. I sell my stuff outside of my house. My children cannot do such a thing. There is no killer in my lineage.

“That Mohbad you talking about, he once lived with me and my children. Come and ask in our area. We stayed 24 hours together. Mohbad paid for where I am selling outside. They have used Mohbad to sadden me. Do not allow them to take away Ibrahim from me.”

On Friday, the Lagos police named Ogedengbe, the auxiliary nurse who injected Mohbad as the “prime suspect” in the singer’s death.

Police clear Lizzy Anjorin of gold theft allegation

Lizzy Anjorin, the Nollywood actress, has finally been cleared of theft allegations by the Lagos state police command.

In February, some traders in the Idumota market in Lagos Island accused the film star of stealing gold and making a fake transaction after buying goods worth N91,000 from a store.

Anjorin denied the allegations and argued that the video evidence was a “setup” against her.

Speaking with TheCable Lifestyle on Friday, Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos state police spokesperson, said Anjorin has been cleared of all the allegations.

The police PRO revealed that their investigation found a mix-up at the payment point in the store.

In February, TheCable Lifestyle reported how six traders were arraigned before the chief magistrate court in Lagos Island for allegedly assaulting and blackmailing Anjorin.

Sola Samuel, the prosecuting counsel, said the defendants conspired to forcefully push and drag Anjorin, causing her grievous bodily harm.

Samuel told the court that the defendants’ actions caused a breach of public peace.

The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Ade Oshodi, the representative of the defendants, prayed the court to grant them bail in the most liberal terms, stating they were traders.

In his ruling, A.A. Paul, the presiding magistrate, granted each defendant bail in the sum of N200,000 with one surety each.

He ordered that the defendants be remanded in the Nigerian Correctional Services until they meet their bail terms.

AGN suspends Halima Abubakar for ‘spreading affair rumours between actors, notable Nigerians’

Published

The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has suspended actress Halima Abubakar following an investigation into her “unprofessional misconduct”.

In a memo released on Friday, the guild said it found Halima “guilty of spreading false information about fellow members, associates, and patrons, including allegations of extramarital affairs with highly placed individuals”.

The AGN said a two-year-long investigation, conducted by a special secret investigation panel, uncovered Halima’s “involvement in slandering Nollywood”.

It added that the actress will face the national disciplinary committee to determine her full punishment.

The guild said she should not be allowed to participate in any filming projects during her suspension.

The AGN also said the secret panel is investigating other female members allegedly involved in scandals with Godswill Akpabio, the senate president.

“Following the thorough investigative report by the special Secret Investigation Panel set up to conduct an internal underground secret investigation into the activities of some blogs/bloggers since 2022,” the memo reads.

“After two years of the painstaking investigations, the Panel found out that Miss Halima Abubakar was behind all the slandering information of our members, associates and patrons, especially news of extra marital affairs linked with highly placed individuals in the society emanating from the industry.

“Therefore, Halima Abubakar is hereby placed on indefinite suspension from the Actors
Guild of Nigeria. She will face the National Disciplinary committee to determine her full punishment.
During this period of her suspension, she is not permitted to participate in any Agn and or filming activities.

“The National/State Chapter Taskforces have been duly mandated to monitor the
compliance of the above order as violations of the suspension rules may lead to further disciplinary actions.

“On behalf of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, I commend the professional and incisive work
done by members of the secret investigative panel.

“However, some female members on the watch-list are being investigated by the secret panel, especially in the recent release of names purported to have had dealings with the Senate President.”

In April, the federal high court in Abuja ordered the actress to pay N10 million in damages for publishing derogatory remarks against cleric Johnson Suleman.

In 2022, Halima called out the general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International on social media, claiming the pair once dated.

But Suleman threatened to sue her for “defamatory statements”.

Veteran Nollywood actor Chiwetalu Agu has highlighted seven key things he believes Nigerians should avoid amid the current economic crises in Nigeria, laying particular emphasis on pregnancy.

In an Instagram post made on October 17, 2024, Agu stressed the importance of making prudent choices during these tough times.

“Here is a list of things to watch out for, the way things are going in our country today. Number one, try not to fall sick if possible,” he advised, emphasising the increasing difficulties of accessing healthcare amid economic instability.

The actor continued, “Number two, make sure your phone is in good shape and ensure your data is active. Number three, make sure you drink plenty of water and healthy food, that is, if there is food to eat.”

Humorously, Agu repeatedly listed pregnancy as the top thing to avoid, saying, “Number 4, no give woman belle o, for this hard time. Number 5, avoid cases that would land you in prison. Number 6, observe rule number four, no give woman belle o. Number 7 is always listen to rule number 4, no vibe woman belle o. And finally, which is the most important, pray to God.”

The actor’s post received equally humorous comments from Instagram users who agreed with his list.

One user wrote, “NO GIVE WOMAN BELLE OOOO… I say make I highlight am for capital letters 😂”

“If you like go and say ‘Children will bring financial blessings,’ you’ll cry more than the baby. You better think about the future of your kids, if you’re not financially and mentally prepared to have kids, don’t ever bring an innocent child into this world to suffer!!” another person wrote.
