A man is wanted after a purse was stolen at the burial and service of songs for late actor Chijioke Nwokafor, known as Cjay Nwok.
The event was held at an RCCG church in Gbagada, Lagos State.

CCTV shows the man sitting close to the purse while people chatted.

Phones belonging to Kenzie and Cardi were placed near where he was sitting.
People only noticed the theft when they started looking for the purse.
The man has now been identified from the footage.
Police are asking anyone with information about him to come forward.
