Mr 2Kay Robbed At Gunpoint In His Hotel Room In Lagos

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.

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.

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.”
