A gang of armed robbers who invaded the house
of a couple in Lokoja, Kogi State,during the
Christmas festival were arrested by the Kogi State
Police Command.
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.
