Narrating how Mr 2kay was robbed at the
popular Eko Hotel, Lagos Police
Commissioner said, “At about 2am, someone
knocked on the door of Mr. 2Kay’s room
and introduced himself as a room service
official from the reception. Mr. 2Kay opened
the door and four men entered with a gun.
“They robbed him of his Audemais Piquet,
an automatic gold wristwatch valued at
$25,000; gold jewellery valued at N1.5m; an
iPhone 7 valued at N380,000, a Samsung
Galaxy S7 valued at N240,000, Samsung
Galaxy S5 worth N110,000; Addidas shoes
valued at N75,000; three bottles of perfume
worth N180,000 and a cash sum of N45,000.
“The gang then tied him and his girlfriend
up before leaving the room. During
investigations, the girlfriend of one of the
gang members, Nimota Mutajero, was
arrested.
“Her confession led to the arrest of three
suspects. They confessed that one Damini
Ogulu aka Burna Boy, an artiste, through
his road manager, one Joel Kantiock,
contacted and paid them to rob Mr. 2Kay to
teach him a lesson.
“Kantiock was subsequently picked up in
his hideout at Zaria, Kaduna State.
“He confessed that his boss, Burna Boy,
instructed him to look for armed men that
could rob Mr. 2Kay. Burna Boy mobilised
the gang with an initial cash sum of
N50,000 and a subsequent sum of N50,000
when the job had been completed.
“I advise Ogulu aka Burna Boy, to report
himself at the nearest police station since
efforts to locate him at his residence at 7
Cheview Estate, Lekki, or any known
hangouts, have proved abortive.”
