Kemani Duggan, who uses the stage name Bandokay, is due to appear at Wood Green Crown Court on February 13.

The 22-year-old was arrested by Metropolitan Police officers on January 13 and has been charged with possession of a handgun and ammunition without a licence.

His father Mark was shot in the chest by police aged 29 while he was in a minicab in North London in August 2011.

Officers wanted to arrest him on suspicion of planning an attack and possessing a firearm.
