Mr. 2Kay Robbed At Gun
Point In Hotel Room At Eko Hotel
Singer, Abiye David
Jumbo popularly known as Mr. 2Kay was robbed at gun point in his hotel room at
Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos. The incident happened at about
11pm on Sunday, October 22, 2017, during the Buckwyld and Breathless concert
where he also performed.
The robbers, 4 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 made a noise.
Mr. 2Kay, who was in
the room with a friend, struggled with one of the robbers, as the others
punched and hit him with a gun, repeatedly warning that they will shoot if he
doesn’t calm down. One of the robbers 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.
The hotel authorities
and police have taken statements for investigation, 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.
