Nigerian artist Damini Ogulu(aka Burna boy) is a very popular figure here at home and also abroad, he makes the news headlines now and then, But sadly not always for the right reasons. Just a couple of weeks ago he released a hit single titled last-last which was supposedly addressed to his former lover and ex-girlfriend stefflon don after they had broken up for the umpteenth time. However, turns out odogwu is not only a man of love but a man of violence too.
A few days after the grammy award winner sent condolences on Twitter to the victims of the two massacres, he has found himself in a bit of a pickle, On Tuesday, June 7th, Burna had reportedly gone to spend time at a popular Cubana nightclub in Victoria Isla
nd Lagos, Not alone though, he had 5 police officers with him, 4 of these men waited outside the club while the last officer confirmed as inspector Ibrahim followed Burna boy into the club.
Burna and Mr Ibrahim had 3 women with them in the VIP section as they partied together but that turned out to be unsatisfying for the artist. He spotted another woman and asked his bodyguard to invite the lady to join them. Everyone would want to have odogwu is what the artist imagined when he invited the lady but sadly she gracefully declined his offer. The lady had come into the club with her husband and his friends and she explained to Burna that she was with her husband.
However, Burna didn't see this as a reason why she would decline his offer, he was persistent and sent his bodyguard once again to insist on the woman coming to join him, This didn't go down well with her husband and his friends. The clubber who was later identified as Mr Irebami Lawrence went straight to burna and expressed his displeasure about how burna was taking a pass at his wife being fully informed that her husband was at that very club. Out eyewitnesses confirm that in the heat of the argument burna's escorts brought out their service pistols and allowed bullets to run wild. Mr Lawrence and his friend tolu were prime casualties of this incident as a bullet hit mr Lawrence on the thigh and another just grazed mr tolu on the head.
The most bizarre thing about this incident is the fact that amid all the terror footage from the club shows burna boy laughing through it all. It raises eyebrows as some of his fans are wondering if this is just his true nature as a boy from portharcourt, sure the artist signs about gun violence among other things but no one thought he would be one to support such a thing.
Burna and his entourage made their way out of the club amid the commotion and certain clubbers reported that they destroyed a notable number of cars as they tried to swiftly flee the scene of the crime.
Mr Lawrence and tolu were later taken to the naval general hospital where they received medical care and are in recovery, although the medical staff pointed out that mr Lawrence was lucky as the iPhone in his pocket slowed the bullet and caused the damage to be less fatal, I guess here is your reason to get that iPhone.
The only positive that has surfaced from the incident thus far came when a spokesman from the force headquarters Mr Mugiwa adejobi released a statement saying the escorts have been identified and detained because of the misconduct, he also condemned their use of firearms in such a crowded place. However burna boy was reported to have jetted out of Nigeria immediately after the incident, yes you heard right burna flew out immediately after the incident took place. The IGP of police has asked that he avail himself for interrogation upon arrival into the county.
Burna also replied to the allegations on Twitter by saying "Nigerian social media can say burna boy started Boko haram E no go shock me". Do you think burna is guilty? Do you think the shooting was justified? What do you think about burna always being in such incident? Tell us by dropping a comment below and check out more trending gist from Elite amebo below
