The popular Nigerian hip-hop singer, Burna Boy, has apologised to his fans: "I never intended to hit him. They all know my rules. Whenever I'm performing on stage, I don't like any person from the crowd climbing the stage till I ask you", he said. Recall a video of the singer that went viral while performing on a stage where he angrily and defensively kicked a young boy, who climbed and ran towards him. His bodyguard was seen rushing to the scene and pushing the lad into the cheering crowd immediately. "The rule is simple. And people have been obeying it. I sincerely apologise for what happened. For security purpose, I did what I did because of the manner in which he ran towards me. I love you, my fans, and I'll keep loving you all. Forgive my error", Burna Boy pleaded.

A family source privy to the development said yesterday that the result had been ready since December.  "The private autopsy has been concluded and the result is currently with the forensic pathologist contracted by the fam...
