LAGOS, Nigeria – Popular Nigerian musician, Abiye David Jumbo better known as Mr. 2 Kay has been robbed at gun point inside his hotel room at Eko Hotel & Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The hotel is one of Nigeria’s 5 Star hotel, mostly patronised by foreigners who visit Nigeria.
The misician said he was robbed on Sunday at about 11pm on Sunday, October 22, 2017, during the Buckwyld and Breathless concert which featured him.
According to him, the robbers four in number gained access into Mr. 2Kay’s room after he mistook one of them for room service. They forced their way into his room and waved a gun with threats to shoot him if he refuses to cooperate.
We gathered that Mr. 2Kay, who was in the room with a friend, struggled with one of the robbers, leading to free for all fight. The others hit him with the butt of the gun, repeatedly warning that they will shoot if he doesn’t calm down.
One of the robber, according a witness led and locked 2Kay’s friend in the bathroom, while the others tied the singer’s arms, legs and mouth and took his valuables including jewelry, clothes, perfumes, phones, and money.
They also cut the room’s intercom (phone) to avoid any form of communication as they left the hotel. We gathered that the hotel authorities have reported the incident to police while Mr. 2Kay is getting medical attention for his wounds.
“I was quite shocked when I got to Mr. 2Kay’s room last night. This was somebody I watched perform some minutes before the incident. Anyway, the hotel authorities and police are already investigating the incident and we hope they’ll apprehend the criminals as soon as possible,” said James Silas, Manager of Grafton Records.
