Lagos state police command release statement denying claims that Burna Boy has honored their invitation

The Lagos State Police has reacted to the recent statement released by Burna Boy’s management team ‘Spaceship Entertainment’ saying, ‘Burna Boy, is not in any way involved with the robbery and beating up of Mr 2kay’.

Read the press statement below

The Lagos state Police Command would like to inform members of the public that Damini Ogulu a.k.a ‘Burna Boy’ is YET to report himself to the police and still on the run contrary to reports making rounds on the internet that the musician has 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 assures that justice will be done.

Recall that his camp had earlier debunked his involvement in the robbery in a statement made available to the press.

It reads;

The management of Burna Boy (Spaceship Entertainment) hereby makes an official statement regarding the news that Burna Boy has been declared wanted by the police.

We use this medium to categorically state that Burna Boy, is not in any way involved with the robbery and beating up of Grafton Records artiste, Mr. 2Kay on the 22nd of October, 2017.

The first and only invitation Burna Boy has ever received from the police was issued yesterday November 20th, 2017. This invitation was honored yesterday November 20th, 2017 and it has been made clear that he is happy to cooperate with the police as best as he can. It is pertinent to note that he was never served an arrest warrant nor has he been declared wanted.

We are confident that the Nigerian police will deal with this fairly and professionally.
