Upcoming musician arrested for armed robbery

A young up coming musician, John Sunday, who thought he could get the money to promote his album by stealing, is now in police net where he is regretting his actions.

The 25-year-old aspiring musician was paraded by the Lagos State Police Command after he was arrested with others while carrying out their nefarious activities.

Sunday who is from Akwa Ibom State, confessed that he decided to go the illegal route to raise the sum of N100,000 to enable him to promote his reggae album.

"I am a musician from Akwa Ibom State. We were three in the gang, but one is on the run. I needed money to launch my album, Tureke Reggae; that is why I went intorobbery. I was targeting N100,000.

I am full of regrets now and if I am let off the hook, I will do any legitimate work to realise the money to pursue my dreams."

The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Kayode Aderanti, revealed that his team was able to apprehend the robbers off a tip on November 21 at 10pm.
