The police want to identify the brains behind the illegal operation at the younger Adoke’s three-bedroom bungalow at Nagazi Area of Okehi Local Government Area of Kogi State. The men reportedly wore black shirts over black trousers and claimed to be searching for cash. They presented no search warrant. But when they found no money, they resorted to beating one AbdulGaniyu, who is the caretaker of the house. The gunmen, it was gathered, used a primary school, which is about 500m from the house as their operational base. A source familiar with the development told The Nation yesterday that the police had commenced investigation following a formal report to them. “The police have launched a manhunt for the masked gunmen. They put on black shirts over black trousers. It is difficult to say whether they were assassins or armed robbers,” the source said, “They are following all the clues we have provided. We want them to get to the roots of this invasion.” Responding to a question, the source added: “They stormed the bungalow at about 12.30am.They broke doors and started shouting where is the money kept in this house? They were desperate, they upturned the furniture and ransacked every part of the building. “Getting frustrated, they vandalised everything in the house because they could not get any cash. They later pounced on AbdulGaniyu, they took him to a part of the compound and asked him to start digging the ground for hidden money. “When the search for cash was fruitless, they beat him to a pulp and injured him.” A senior police officer said: “It is too early to make a categorical statement.”]]>
