Some employees who were
not paid their salaries as at when due, and decided to take the laws into their
own hands, have landed themselves into big trouble
According to a report by PUNCH
Metro, Mbadugha, who hired the guards from Strongcity Security Services, was
allegedly attacked while working at his office on Johnvic Igbanogo Street, in
the Lekki Phase 1 area of Lagos State.
In a statement released on Monday,
the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti, said the
command mobilised operatives to rescue Mbadugha and arrest the suspects.
He added that the suspects, during
interrogation, said they connived with others at large to rob the victim for
not paying their salaries as and when due.
Oti said, “The command had on
Saturday, October 13, 2018, around 5.30pm, received information from a credible
source that some bandits held one Joseph Mbadugha hostage in his office at
JohnVic Igbanogo Street, Lekki Phase One, Lagos, and that the armed men wore
Strongcity Security Services uniform.
“Based on the information,
operatives from the Maroko Police Station and F-SARS Ikeja, jointly mobilised
to the scene. On sighting the operatives, the hoodlums ran in different
directions to avoid being arrested. But one of them, who gave his name as Isaac
Edet, was nabbed at the scene.
“After interrogation, he led
detectives to arrest his partner in crime, one Kingsley Asuquo. Interestingly,
both suspects are workers of Strongcity Security Services. They claimed that
the victim did not pay their salaries as and when due, hence they planned with
others at large to rob and even kill him if necessary.
“They succeeded in dispossessing the
victim of a bag containing a laptop, a cash sum of N40,000, three cheque
booklets, one iPhone 6. All these items were recovered from the suspects in the
course of investigation.”
Oti said the Lagos State
Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, had directed the head of the command’s
intelligence unit to fish out the fleeing members of the gang.
