Kogi State University Professor’ s Son Killed During Robbery Operation In Ayingba

The son of a popular Professor in Kogi State
University has died during a foiled robbery
operation in Ayingba town.
While parading the other suspects, Kogi state
commissioner of police, Seidu Madawaki said the
suspected robbers were alleged to have gone to
rob at “White House” Phase 11 Lodge in Ayingba
when he met his untimely death..
According to the CP, the police, had received a
distress call and raced to the scene of the crime
to rescue the victims only for the robbers to
engage them in a fierce gun battle, which resulted
in the killing of the professor’s son.
The police boss said other members of the gang,
seeing that the professor’s son was fatally
wounded immediately carried him from the scene
of the attack to an uncompleted building where
they wanted to call for medical attention but he
later died as a result of severe bleeding.
While answering questions from newsmen, one of
the gang members, confessed that they were cult
members, who were misled by one of their
colleagues to go and rob and that the deceased
was the one that first shot the police before the
police retaliated.
Madawaki also paraded two suspects for illegally
vandalising NNPC pipelines and scooping crude
oil.
Items recovered from the suspects include six
assorted rifles, 40 handsets, unspecified amount
of money including Korean currency and other
dangerous weapons.
The police boss said that as soon the police
conclude their investigation, the suspects would
be charged to court
