ASHENEWS reports that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has denied reports that it arrested now deceased singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, aka MohBad.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Director, Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi on Saturday.
Babafemi said that the NDLEA’s statement was in reaction to claims by the Lagos State Police Command that the NDLEA did not respond to inquiries after the issue of Mohbad’s detention was raised during the investigation.
“the Agency will like to state that indeed its response was sent and received by the police since Thursday 28th September 2023.
“Indeed, to show the seriousness with which the Agency treated the issue, our formal response dated Thursday 28th September 2023 was sent by flight to Lagos, delivered and received by the police same Thursday 28th September.
“We also heard the unsubstantiated allegation on social media that Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, aka MohBad, was arrested and detained by NDLEA on the 24th of February 2022 and given a substance to drink.
“In response to this allegation, we wish to state categorically that MohBad was never arrested neither was he ever detained in the custody of the NDLEA on the said date or any other date before or after. The foregoing being the case, the issue of giving him any substance to drink does not arise,” the statement said.
