Burna Boy Police Escort allegedly shoot Married Man, Wife in Lagos

The Lagos police command has apprehended five police officers associated with Nigerian artist Damini Ogulu, alias Burna Boy, for attempted murder after they shot two revelers.
According to Sunday Punch, the shooting occurred on Wednesday at Club Cubana on Victoria Island in Lagos.
Irebami Lawrence and Tolu, the victims, were at the club having a good time with each other when the singer escort shot them.
The singer and five police escorts visited the nightclub around 4 a.m. on June 8, according to a preliminary report from the Bar Beach Police Division.
It was said that four police officers waited outside while one of them, Inspector Ibrahim, who was dressed in mufti, escorted the Grammy-winning performer into the club.
The musician was in the VIP section with three women when he spotted another woman, according to various witness testimony.
He allegedly told Ibrahim to invite the woman to come with him.
The lady’s husband, on the other hand, was alleged to have slammed the artist, claiming that any male making approaches on his wife was disrespectful.
Burna Boy reportedly made new passes at the woman after a few minutes.
This upset her husband and his friends at the club even more.

In the process, Lawrence, 27, was then shot in the leg during the incident, while his friend Tolu was struck in the head by a bullet which caused ruckus in the club as a result of this.
Burna Boy and his entourage then drove to one of his houses around the Elegushi end of the Lekki-Epe Expressway before heading to Lekki Phase 1 according to reports.
A senior policeman speaking about the incident said; “As things were getting heated, Ibrahim brought out his service pistol and shot multiple times while Burna Boy was laughing”
“Aware of what he had done, Burna Boy took the next flight out without even informing the policemen. He only made a video call to them to inform them that he had travelled to Spain. All his police escorts have been arrested and are currently at the Command headquarters.”
Burna Boy was discovered to be laughing during the incident and quickly flew to Spain.
Sources close to the victims said the police were trying to protect the Grammy Award winner because of his status while the victims were treating their wounds at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.
A brother of Irebami, one of the victims, Jide, said his brother had undergone surgery to remove the bullet lodged in his thigh.
He noted that Irebami is based in the US, and only came to Nigeria a week ago for a wedding.
He said that the club’s management had not contacted the family since the incident.
Bose Ogulu, Burna Boy’s manager and mother, did not reply to requests for comment.
However, Benjamin Hundeyin, a spokesman for the state police command, said the officers were the focus of the investigation and that no victim had filed a complaint with the police.
