Mr 2k Slams Eko Hotel With 500M Suit Over Violent Robbery
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, on Sunday.
The incident
occurred at about 11:00 pm, during the Buckwyld and Breathless concert where he
also performed.
A statement from
Grafton Records, the label to which the artiste is signed, confirmed that he
was attacked when about four robbers gained access to his room as he mistook 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,” the statement read.
His friend was
allegedly locked in the bathroom, while the robbers tied up the singer’s hands
and legs and mouth, after which they left with his valuables.
They were also
said to have cut the room’s intercom to avoid any form of communication as they
left.
According to the
Manager, Grafton Records, James Silas, Mr 2k, is however, currently undergoing
treatment while the hotel authorities as well as the Police have swung into
action to ensure that the culprits are brought to book.
