CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A popular musician, Adekunle Temitope, a.k.a Small Doctor and three others were arrested by the police in Lagos for alleged unlawful possession of firearm.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that this was disclosed by the Lagos State Police boss, CP Edgal Imohimi, who explained that the suspects were arrested at Oshodi area of Lagos after they had threatened to shoot traffic policemen.
CP Imohimi added that he was disappointed with the musician’s conduct knowing that he had a case with the SCIID, Panti Yaba, for shooting at his show in Agege where he allegedly injured four persons.

“You would have thought the incident had taught him something but surprisingly today (Monday), I got a situation report from traffic monitors at Oshodi Expressway alleging that four unknown gunmen were in a green unregistered SUV.
“He brought out a weapon and threatened to fire the policemen. Fortunately the DPO and other policemen at Shogunle intercepted the suspects and arrested them.
“When they were brought here it was discovered that one of them was the same Adekunle Temitope, a.k.a Small Doctor with three others and they were arrested with a functional rifle, a cartridge and some personal items.
“I am concerned as one will expect that a popular musician like him would be a role model but his character of gangsterism is nothing to emulate.” he said.

The CP further urged celebrities to stop involving themselves in issues of gangsterism and conflicts that do not portray them well.

“You would recall that the Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim Idris, had a window period for submission of all firearms as all licences had been canceled and all approvals suspended.
“I have directed that the case be properly investigated and they will be charged for threatening violence on policemen and being in possession of forearm.” he said.

Meanwhile, the suspects were still detained by the police pending when they will be charged to court for the alleged offence.
