Kehinde Adewumi, also known as “Hunter,” was charged on Friday by the Lagos State Police Command with armed robbery in the Mushin region of the state.

Before Magistrate Nwaka, the 33-year-old defendant was charged with three counts of robbery and armed robbery.

In Mushin in 2022, Adewumi and a few of his gang members are accused of robbing Stanley Nwabuwa at gunpoint and taking his valuables, including his ATM card, which they then allegedly used to withdraw N12.2 million.

Adewunmi allegedly received N1.4 million as his share of the theft from a Point of Sales agent after the robbery.

The police approached the POS agent, who, according to the prosecution, could only identify the money’s recipient as Adewumi. This led to the defendant’s arrest.

Adewumi committed the crime on May 18, 2022, at No. 8, Abolarin Street, Mushin, Lagos, according to the prosecutor, Thomas Nurudeen, who was standing in front of the court with a brief in support of ASP Adebeshin Shamsudeen.

According to Nurudeen, the offenses violated and were punishable by Sections 411 and 328 of the Lagos, Nigeria, Criminal Laws of 2015.

The charge stated, in part, “That you, Kehinde Adewumi, aka “Hunter,” did conspire with another person to commit a felony, namely robbery, on May 18, 2022, at No. 8 Abolarin Street, Mushin, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, and as a result, you committed an offense punishable under Section 411 of the Criminal Laws Of Lagos, Nigeria, 2015.”

However, the accused entered a not guilty plea.

He was granted bail in the amount of N3 million with three sureties by Magistrate Nwaka.

He put the case back until July 31, 2023.
