The universe works in funny ways! One day, you’re Burna Boy and your thousands of fans are screaming your name in a sold out concert; another day, you’re Damini Ogulu and you’re standing in the dock pleading “not guilty” to a two-count charge of conspiracy and accessory to armed robbery.

After pleading “Not Guilty”, Burna was granted a N100,000 bail by Chief Magistrate Aje Afunwa at the Ikeja Magistrate Court.

Next hearing is to hold on 29 December.
