A statement by Graftin, his
record ladel, said the incident happened around 11pm on Sunday, October 22,
during the Buckwyld and Breathless concert where he also performed.
Nigerian 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 robbers, 4 in number,
gained access into his 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 cash.
They also cut the room’s
intercom (phone) to avoid any form of communication as they left the hotel.
The hotel authorities and
the police have taken statements for investigation, while he is getting medical
attention for his wounds.
Manager of Grafton Records,
James Silas, said:
“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.”
