Dancehall act,

On Friday, December 15, 2017, Burna Boy voluntarily honoured the police invitation - he was, thereafter, interrogated and detained.

A statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos, Chike Oti, said the dance hall artiste will be charged to court on Monday, December 18, alongside four members of the gang earlier arrested.

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.

A gang leader of the suspected robbers, Tunmise Omotore, 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.
