A Nigerian gunman has been arrested in the UK after he live-streamed himself on Instagram firing shots from a balcony while rapping to Tupac’s ‘Hit ‘Em Up’.
The incident occurred on Wednesday morning April 22, at a flat on Dock Head Road, Chatham.
The man identified as Flexing Mike on Instagram, who claims to be the CEO of Truth or Dare records sent panicked shoppers in Kent running for their lives as he fired around 50 shots before armed police rushed to the scene and arrested him.
