Basketmouth has been unreachable since the robbery at his Lekki home this morning, September 7.
According to his colleague, Bovi, ‘Basketmouth
was robbed this morning in his home in Lekki Phase 1 between the hours
of 2am and 4am, 7th of September 2016. He and his family were held at
gunpoint while the sad episode lasted. Nobody was hurt. Valuables were
taken including the cctv device. A report has been made at the police
station. He can’t be reached at the moment but will be back on as soon
as possible.’
KillerTunesng
investigations revealed that the burglars, who attacked the comedian’s
home, could face a 14-year jail sentence if caught by the police
according to section 403 of the country’s Criminal Code Act (CCA).
‘Any person who with intent to steal anything, assaults any other
person and at or immediately after the time of assault, uses or
threatens to use actual violence to any other person or any property in
order to obtain the thing intended to be stolen shall upon conviction be
sentenced to imprisonment for not less than fourteen years but not more
than twenty years.’
The laws are however based on charges proven against the robbers, who would get life sentence if there’s someone harmed.
At the end of the day, it depends on what the police will charge them with and what can be proved.
