The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) say it will interrogate Burna
Boy, the singer, over the alleged shooting of two fun-seekers by his security
team.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the force spokesman, disclosed this in a
Twitter post on Sunday.
His post was in response to a Twitter user who argued that
the matter has nothing to do with the ‘African Giant’ crooner.
The user, identified as Adeshina, had asked the police to
focus its investigation on the officers involved in the incident.
“This has nothing to
do with Burna Boy. The duty of police guard to Burna Boy is to protect his
life. So, sir forget what some Burna (Boy) haters said about him. Please carry
out your investigation (with) due diligence sir. God bless Nigeria police
force,” the user wrote.
In his response, Adejobi said there is no way the police can
conduct a “detailed” investigation without interrogating the musician.
“Exactly what we will do. But there is no how d police want
to have a detailed investigation without interrogating BB (Burna Boy). No way,”
he wrote.
Exactly what we will do. But there is no how d police want to have detailed investigation without interrogating BB. No way. So the level of involvement of everyone in the incident will determine his punishment or otherwise. We should not pre-empt what the report will reveal. https://t.co/egiOkgrekD

“So, the level of involvement of everyone in the incident
will determine his punishment or otherwise. We should not pre-empt what the
report will reveal.”
One of Burna Boy’s police escorts was said to have opened
fire on Irebami Lawrence and Tolu, his friend, at the club located around
Victoria Island in Lagos.
The shooting was said to have occurred after the singer
allegedly made a pass at a lady said to be Lawrence’s wife.
Usman Alkali Baba, the inspector-general of police (IGP), had earlier condemned the incident and ordered a probe into the shooting.
