Unknown gunmen posing as security agents invaded the home of Alhaji Bashir Adoke, the younger brother of a former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), in the early hours of Saturday.
The gunmen, who claimed to be searching for cash in the three-bedroom bungalow, did not present any warrant to support their claim.
They also assaulted the caretaker of the house, one AbdulGaniyu.
According to a relation of the Adokes, the gunmen forcefully entered the building located at Nagazi Area of Okehi local government area of Kogi State at about 12:30 a. m on Saturday.
The relation said: “The gunmen broke doors and started shouting where is the money kept in this house? They were desperate, upturned the furniture and ransacked every part of the building.
“They also vandalized everything in the house because they could not get any cash.
“They later pounced on AbdulGaniyu, 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 AbdulGaniyu to a pulp and injured him.
“The owner of the house, who is resident in Abuja, was not in Nagazi for the weekend.” According to TheNation.
