The Kano state police command has arrested two suspects in connection with the robbery and attempted murder of Nigerian rapper Lil Kesh in Lagos.
The incident occurred last month when the assailants
attacked the artiste, also known as Keshinro Ololade, in an attempt to steal
his jewelry.
During the struggle, Lil Kesh was stabbed in the neck and
part of his ear. Graphic photos of his injuries later circulated online,
prompting concern among his fans.
The rapper was rushed to a hospital where he received
treatment and had his wounds stitched.
A few days after the attack, Lil Kesh shared a positive
update, describing the incident as a “curveball” from life that he managed to
escape.
The 30-year-old expressed gratitude for his safety and the
outpouring of support from fans.
In a recent statement, police confirmed the arrest of the
two suspects identified as Mathew Adewole and Mukhtar Muhammad in Na’ibawa
Quarters, Kano.
The statement disclosed that a sum of N2.12 million,
reportedly stolen during the attack, was recovered.
It added that the suspects have been handed over to the
Lagos police command for prosecution.
“Kano State Police Command nabs 2 suspects in Na’ibawa
Quarters Kano, Mathew Adewole & Mukhtar Muhammad, in connection with armed
robbery & attempted murder of Lil-Kesh at Bera Estate, Chevron, Lagos,” the
statement reads.
“Stolen N2.12m recovered & suspects handed over to Lagos
Police for prosecution, #Justice Served.”
