Videos
In two separate, undated videos widely circulated on social media, an individual identifying himself as Kwame Tunechi uses profane language while speaking into what appears to be his phone’s selfie camera.
With two others in the background sitting on a motorbike, he boasts of committing crimes and threatens to rob an approaching vehicle.
They are joined by a fourth individual in the second video where he says they go out and ‘hunt’ when people are sleeping.
Apology
In another video published on Tiktok, the quartet are seen apologising and recanting their comments which they say were a result of them being inebriated after a birthday party.
They said a day after posting the video, they decided to leave it up because they thought it will trend and get follows, comments as well as likes on social media.
