The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has disclosed that at no time did the agency arrest and detain Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, aka MohBad.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Femi Babafemi, NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy made the disclosure on Saturday in a statement in response to enquiries concerning the death of the budding singer.
Recall the Lagos State Police Command had on Friday disclosed it was yet to get a response from the NDLEA on social media allegations bordering on the alleged arrest and detention of the late artiste.
However, Babafemi in the statement argued 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,” the NDLEA stated.
The drug law enforcement agency stressed in the copy of the response to the police sighted by TNG that MohBad was never arrested nor was he ever detained in the custody of the NDLEA on the said date or any other date before or after.
“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 NDLEA response reads.
