Dare-devil robbers on Wednesday stormed the Lagos residence of Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, former governor of Abia State in Victoria Island and shot dead one of his workers, Michael Ogbonna.
The robbers, numbering two, also carted away N2 million. The incident happened at about 4.00 p.m.
The robbers were said to have trailed the deceased and two others, who had gone to the Adeola Odeku branch of Diamond Bank, to withdraw some money.
An eyewitness, Emenike said the three of them went to the bank at about 3.30 p.m. to withdraw some money and came back to meet strange faces on the premises.
“After collecting the money, we came back to the house, only to find two men standing near the compound.
“As we alighted from the vehicle, one of them came from behind and we suspected them and inquired about his identity and mission to the area,” Emenike said.
He explained that as the conversation was still going on, they discovered that the men were armed. “As we discovered that they were armed, two us quickly ran upstairs to lock up the security door, leaving Mike behind. We were still there when we heard a gunshot. As we came back, we saw Mike in the pool of his own blood,” he said.
The victim was quickly rushed to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead by the doctors, as he was said to have been shot at close range.
