Rapper cleared of shooting plot

Olu Tunde Finni, known by his stage name Tunde, was accused of arranging a shooting in ‘revenge’ after his ex-girl-friend’s car had been damaged. But a jury found him not guilty of a serious firearms offence, and he walked free from court. Four other men on trial were also acquitted of similar offences.

Jurors at Manchester Crown Court heard that the gunman opened fire at a house in Burnage on September 27, 2020. Prosecutors were unable to say who the man firing the gun was, but they claimed Mr Finni was involved in arranging the shooting.
