Nigerian Singer and Dancehall star, Damini Ogulu a.k.a Burna Boy, is on the run over alleged robbery and battery.
The songwriter was alleged to have battered and robbed his fellow musician Mr 2Kay, at gun point in his hotel room at Eko Hotel and Suites, recently during the “Buckwyld N Breathless” concert.
Acting Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi had on Monday declared Burna Boy wanted, saying four armed robbers carried out the attack and detectives were able to arrest one of their girlfriends identified as ‘Matejero’.
He said during interrogation, the robbers confessed that they were hired by Burna Boy through his manager, Joel Kantiock, who was arrested in Zaria, Kaduna State.
Burna Boy’s record label Spaceship Entertainment had said the singer honoured the police invitation on Monday and he had been cooperating with the police.
But Police Public Relations Officer, Olarinde Famous-Cole debunked the statement saying Burna Boy was yet to report himself to the police and still on the run contrary to reports making rounds on the internet that the musician had honoured police invitation.
The command would also like to inform the public that only Burna Boy’s father; one Samuel Ogulu visited
the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) in-charge of the case with the promise to bring Burna Boy before
the police.
The Command however uses this medium to urge Burna Boy’s father and relatives to do right by
bringing the musician and turning him in to the police before the long arm of the law catches up with him.
The command also assured that justice will be done.
