Police Arrest Suspected Attackers of Lil Kesh In Kano Days After Lagos Incident
The Kano State Police Command has arrested two suspects linked to the armed robbery and attempted murder of popular Nigerian singer, Keshinro Ololade, better known as Lil Kesh, in Lagos.
The suspects, identified as Mathew Adewole, 25, of Naibawa Quarters, and Mukhtar Muhammad, 31, of Unguwa Uku Quarters, were apprehended following coordinated intelligence efforts across state commands.
Police investigations revealed that the duo were allegedly responsible for the August 19 violent attack at Bera Estate, Chevron, in Lagos State, where Lil Kesh and another resident were attacked.
According to the Kano State Police Public Relations Officer, Adewole reportedly stabbed the victim in the neck during the robbery and subsequently forced him to transfer ₦2.12 million to an account belonging to Muhammad through mobile banking.
“Adewole has confessed to the crime, admitting that he carried out the attack and facilitated the fraudulent transfer,” the police spokesperson said, noting that the case was initially under investigation by the Lagos State Police Command before their arrest in Kano.
The suspects are currently in custody, and arrangements are underway to transfer them to Lagos for further investigation and prosecution.
The police assured the public of their commitment to tackling violent crime and bringing all perpetrators to justice.
