I’ve lied in police stations, courts – Burna Boy opens up

Ace Nigerian musician, Damini Ogulu, professionally known as Burna Boy, has admitted that he’s lied in court rooms and police stations.

According to the Grammy-winner, these are the only places where he has ever told lies in his life on various occasions.

Burna Boy made this known in a post on his Instagram story on Saturday, September 2 while bragging about his blunt nature.

The self-styled ‘African Giant’ wrote; “The only times I ever lied was in courtrooms and police stations. If you don’t like me, I don’t like you more than you don’t like me. You can’t win.”

A Magistrates Court sitting in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, has sentenced two persons, Adegoke Akinleye and Adediran Adewole, to prison for stealing 404 pieces of catfish belonging to their boss, Ibukun Sanusi.

Justice O.O. Odumosu handed the sentence last month after the defendants, who are ex-workers on a farm located in Ilewo, Abeokuta, were arraigned on two counts of felony and stealing catfish valued at N606,000.

She sentenced both convicts to six months imprisonment each for the first count and one-year imprisonment each for the second count.

Odumosu however, granted an option of fine for the convicts to the tune of N10,000 each for each jail term provided they can pay back the N606,000 to the complainant.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Olakunle Shonibare, told the court that the offences committed on January 24, 2023, contravened Sections 516(1) and 382(2) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State.

The charge read in part; “That you, Akinleye Adegoke, Adewole Adediran and others at large on January 24, 2023 at about 12noon at Abidelep Farm and Agro-Service Limited, Ilewo, Orile, Abeokuta in the magisterial district did conspire to commit felony and thereby committed an offence contrary and punishable under Section 516(1) of the Criminal Laws of Ogun State.

“That you, Akinleye Adegoke, Adewole Adediran and others at large on the same date, time and place in the aforesaid magisterial district did steal 404 pieces of catfish valued at N606,000 property of one Mrs Sanusi Ibukun and thereby committed an offence contrary and punishable under Section 382(2) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State.”
