The
police have arrested some armed robbers who invaded the house of a couple in
Lokoja, Kogi State,during the Yuletide.
The
five suspects were said to have invaded the house of the couple on December 28,
at about 2am while the family was asleep.
The
husband, Chris Edime, who narrated his ordeal to journalists at the police
headquarters in Lokoja during a parade of the suspects, said he was awoken by
the noise of the robbers who gained entry into the children’s room and looted
the house. “They
ordered all of us to lie face down; two of them entered the kitchen to prepare
food, while two of them drove me to an ATM to empty my account,” he added.
The
state Police Public Relations Officer, William Aya, an Assistant Superintendent
of Police, said Edume reported to the command that the gunmen stole his
Infinity G35X salon car and household appliances.
He
said the Department of State Services, Lokoja, synergised with operatives of
the command to arrest the perpetrators.
“Investigations
led to the arrest of one Mohammed Ibrahim in Lagos, from whom the car was
recovered,” Aya said.
Other
members were named as Mohammed Kabiru, Musa Mohammed, Emmanuel Audu and Yale
Yunusa.
