Two members of the robbery gang that stormed the Lagos home of Nollywood star, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu, weekend, have been arrested.
The robbers, as gathered, invaded the home while the actor was away. They met his wife who they ordered to show them where cash and other valuables were kept. The operation, according to Okafor, lasted from 3a.m. till 4.25a.m.
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent Chike Oti, confirmed the arrest, adding that the suspects had been transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery, SARS, for further investigation.
It was learnt that the assailants gained entry through an opening in the house, which was under renovation. They were said to have held Okafor’s relatives hostage as they took time to steal cash sums in the house, as well as 12 wristwatches, laptops, phones, jewellery, shoes and clothes, among others. Our correspondent was told that the assailants took away all the Automated Teller Machine cards in the house, after forcefully obtaining the PINs from Okafor’s wife.
