2kay, linked Burna Boy to the case. The singer is
accused of sponsoring the attack to “teach him(Mr
2kay) a lesson.”

receiving invitation for that he should report to the
station for questioning. However, the singer reported to

making statements to detectives. The source said, “He is
currently in the SARS custody and he is helping the
police in the investigation. .
For now, I can’t say categorically what his charges will
be but definitely they are related to robbery for which
the other suspects were arraigned.”
Another police officer, who is privy to the case, said
Burna Boy’s arraignment might not come up on
Monday as planned, noting that investigators wanted to
present watertight charges against him before the
court. .
The officer said, “His statements are still being
taken and there are more revelations. We don’t
want to rush to court with charges that will be
struck out for lack of evidence. The essence of
prosecution is to secure a conviction at the end of
the day. That is what we want to ensure.”
