The Lagos State Police Command has arrested the alleged masterminds of a robbery attack on the Publisher of Vanguard Newspapers, Sam Amuka-Pemu, in the Anthony Village area of the state.
Our correspondent gathered that two
security men, identified only as Jude and Francis, at the Amuka-Pemu’s
one-storeyed building were among those arrested.
This is just as a source said the phone
of the publisher had also been tracked to an area in Lagos and
operatives were closing in on the gang.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Amuka, who was billed to travel to South Africa this week, was robbed by five men on Sunday around 1am.
It was gathered that the robbers beat up 81-year-old Amuka before making away with his money – naira and dollar notes.
Amuka’s phone and electronic gadgets were also said to have been stolen from the house.
Police operatives from the Anthony
division, men from the Rapid Response Squad, and the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja, were said to have rushed to the area, but the
robbers escaped.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, told PUNCH Metro on Monday that arrests had been made, adding that the suspects were helping the police to close in on the gang.http://www.punchng.com/alleged-masterminds-sam-amuka-pemus-robbery-attack-arrested/
