“He is expected to be charged to court on Monday alongside four of members of the gang earlier arrested,” Oti said.

Burna Boy was declared wanted by the Lagos Police Command in connection with the robbery attack on another popular musician, Mr 2kay at Eko Hotel and Suites early last month.

He submitted himself to the Command headquarters in Ikeja at about 5pm on Friday, December 15.

Tunmise Omotore, a gang leader of the suspected robbers, had confessed on how they disguised as room service to rob Mr. 2kay at Eko Hotel and Suites on the instruction of Burba Boy’s Road Manager, Joel Kantiock.

Commissioner of Police, Mr Imohimi Edgal, after the interrogation, said the State Police Command has zero tolerance for all forms of crime and would not hesitate to prosecute anyone found culpable in any criminal offence perpetrated in the State.

“There would be no sacred cows. This Command is poised to ensure that every resident can feel safe wherever they are and carry out their businesses without fear or favour. Anyone, therefore, found to be involved in this case would be made to face the law to clear his or her name or face prosecution,” Imohimi said.
