Three cross-border armed robbery suspects who allegedly robbed and attacked Publisher of Vanguard Newspapers, Mr Sam Amuka Pemu, have revealed how Amuka’s security guards invited them for the robbery operations. The AUTHORITY learnt that five armed robbery gang attacked the octogenarian publisher in his home at Anthony village Lagos on June 5, 2016 and carted away monies in various denomination.
Parading the suspects and others arrested in the last 30 days by the Lagos State Police Command, one of the lead suspect Atim Abubakar said two security guards securing Amuka’s compound sold him out by divulging classified information that led to the success of the robbery.
He said, “I am a professional driver from Chad and one day I was returning to Nigeria when my phone rang and one Mohammed told me that there was a clean job brought by trusted security guards. He told me that the security guards of a very rich man brought the job and there was no need to panic.”
