The Burna Boy robbery saga took another turn on Wednesday afternoon when the Nigerian police force dismissed all rumors that he is currently cooperating with them.
The management of Spaceship Entertainment records released its first public statement on Tuesday night, after a police press conference on Monday confirmed that Burna Boy is currently on the run. They claimed that he has honored the police invitation, and is currently cooperating with them in the best possible way.
The story however, took another turn when the Lagos state Public Police Relations Officer (PPRO), Olarinde Famous-Cole, debunked Spaceship’s story in a press statement on Wednesday morning.
She said “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.”
