Nigerian rapper, Qudus Fakoya Olatunji, popularly known as Qdot, has reportedly been attacked and robbed at gunpoint in his Lagos residence on Sunday.
This was disclosed in a post shared on X by talent manager, Dami Adenuga.
According to the post, the armed robbers broke into QDot’s home around 2:30 a.m.
They carted away phones, laptops and allegedly transferred money from his bank accounts.
They were also said to have gained access to his social media pages with some reports claiming the artist was stabbed during the attack.
Adenuga however warned the public to disregard suspicious messages or financial requests from the artiste’s accounts.
“Nigerian singer Qdot was attacked and robbed at gunpoint in his home around 2:30 a.m. today. The armed robbers carted away his phones, laptops, and transferred all funds from his accounts.
“They also gained access to his social media accounts. The public is hereby urged to disregard any suspicious messages, posts, or financial requests coming from Qdot’s accounts at this time.” He wrote.
However, no official statement has been issued by the Lagos State Police Command over the incident.
Meanwhile, QDot’s robbery marked the second time in three months that music artists would be attacked in Lagos.
Recall that former YBNL signee, Lil Kesh was on the 19th of August attacked and robbed of N2.2 million.
The artist was also stabbed in the neck by the assailants.
However, two suspects involved in the attack were on the 11th of September arrested in Kano.
As confirmed in a statement issued by the Kano State Police Command, the suspects were arrested at Na’ibawa Quarters, Kano.
They were identified as Mathew Adewole, 25, of Na’ibawa Quarters, and Mukhtar Muhammad, 31, of Unguwa Uku Quarters, Kano.
During interrogation, Adewole reportedly confessed to attacking Lil Kesh and inflicting him with serious injuries, including the deep cut on the neck.
