Anwar “Dogg” Khan, the bodyguard of late rapper Kiernan Forbes, affectionately known as AKA, has finally opened up about the murder of the slain rapper, AKA.
This follows after the bodyguard had been trending from yesterday after being seen in an interview on eTV. Talking about who killed his “client” under his surveillance.
Anwar revealed that protocol had been breached on the day that the rapper was killed.
The bodyguard, who was not present when AKA was gunned down outside the Wish restaurant. On Florida Road in Durban in February, can be seen speaking on My Guest Tonight with Annika Larsen.
BODYGUARD ANWAR ‘DOGG’ KHAN SPEAKS UP
Dogg is the owner of the Pentagon Group bodyguard service and had been protecting AKA for the past eight years. Particularly, whenever the musician was in Durban.
Dogg has reportedly provided VIP security for international stars Oprah Winfrey, Snoop Dogg, Alicia Keys, Kendrick Lamar, the late Michael Jackson and many others.
Speaking to Larsen, he explained that there were no plans for AKA to go to Florida Road that night and he would’ve prevented him from going.
“90% of our work is the manner in which we move. It’s the planning, how you pre-plan, how you schedule your timing and placing of yourself and the person [you are protecting],” he told Larsen.
He further said that part of their job is to restrict movement, therefore reducing threats.
“In my absence, protocol was breached. Kiernan was called and invited to go to Florida Road (Wish) which he accepted and he went. Had I been there, that protocol would not have been breached, simply because that call would’ve came through the road manager,” Dogg said.
AKA’s road manager was “Scorpion” Siya Mdluli, who is rapper Ntokozo “K.O” Mdluli’s brother.
In the interview, Khan shared that if he was around, he would have picked up the rapper from the airport straight to the hotel.
From there, he would have taken AKA to the show for his performance and then back to the hotel. The next day, Khan would have picked him up from the hotel back to the airport.
Dogg further said it was the duty of the bodyguard who was assigned to protect AKA on the fateful day to make decisions that would have minimised his exposure to danger.
