Gunmen invade MKO's Lagos house

 


Gunmen on Wednesday invaded the house of the late Chief Moshood Abiola in Ike, Lagos State and stole property worth millions of naira.


A source confirmed the development to a journalist.


“ Armed robbers invaded the house of the late MKO Abiola in the Opebi area of Ikeja. They carted away a lot of valuable items, ” the source said .

When a journalist visited Abiola ’ s house on Wednesday, a police patrol vehicle was stationed at the front of the building.


A security guard on the premises , however , declined to speak with the journalist who inquired about the incident.


However, a resident who spoke on the condition of anonymity said , “ The operation occurred around 4 am when the security guards were asleep . They dug the ground of the back gate and gained entry. They carted away property and escaped. ”


It was learnt that the state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, had paid a visit to the family.


When contacted , Odumosu said some arrests had been made , adding that investigation had commenced into the incident.


“ Three people were involved in the operation and from what I gathered when I visited the house today, only one of the suspects was armed . The suspects gained entry through the canal because the building backed the canal and I was told that some pieces of jewellery and money were stolen. I have beefed up security in the area .


“ None of the residents, including his wife , Bisi and two girls were attacked or injured during the operation . We have made some arrests and commenced an investigation into the incident, ” Odumosu said .
