I did not rob Mr 2kay and was not declared wanted, says Burna Boy

Damini Ogulu, a dancehall artiste better known as Burna Boy, was accused of being complicit in a recent robbery attack on his colleague, Mr 2Kay.

Edgal Imohimi, Lagos state commissioner of police, on Monday, asked Burna Boy to report to the police station for questioning over the incident.

The police claimed it had arraigned the suspects of the robbery who confessed to receiving instructions for the execution from Burna Boy’s road manager, Joel Kontiock.

Kontiock, who was picked up from the northern part of Nigeria, denied any involvement in the case.
