Some gunmen invaded the residence of late Moshood Abiola,
self-acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, in Ikeja,
Lagos, on Wednesday.
Bala Elkana, spokesman of the Lagos police command,
confirmed the development.
He said suspects have been arrested while investigation has
commenced.
“We have suspects in custody. We have commenced investigation,” he said.
The robbers were said to have gained illegal access the
building through scaling the fence.
The suspects were said to have carted away valuables
including hard currencies.
Abiola won the 1993 presidential election which was annulled
by the military government of Ibrahim Babaginda.
In 2018, the president declared June 12 as Democracy Day in
honour of Abiola, whom he gave a posthumous national honour.
Buhari had also approved the renaming of Abuja National
Stadium to MKO Abiola Stadium in honour of the late businessman.
