The Kano State Police Command has verified the apprehension of two primary suspects associated with the violent attack on Nigerian musician, Keshinro Ololade, widely recognized as Lil Kesh.
The suspects, identified as Mathew Adewole (25) and Mukhtar Muhammad (31), were located and detained at Na’ibawa Quarters, Kano, on September 11, 2025, following several weeks of intelligence-driven operations.
According to the Command’s spokesperson, SP Abdullahi Haruna, Adewole confessed to invading Lil Kesh’s residence in Lagos at Bera Estate, Chevron on August 19, 2025, where the artist sustained a severe neck injury in what law enforcement characterized as an attempted homicide.
