Robbery Attempt At Former Deputy Governor’s House Foiled By Police

Five suspected armed robbers on mask attacked the home of a former deputy governor of Bayelsa, Wenipreye Seibarugu on Tuesday.


This was made known to newsmen by Seibarugu, who described the attack as “worrisome and outrageous”.

“Though, I have not reported to the police but the policemen from Ekeki Divisional Headquarters, Yenagoa Local Government Area, led by the DPO, has visited to ascertain the development.

“The reason is that I have been in the hospital for the fracture I had while we were trying to chase the robbers out.”

An eyewitness Preye James said, “They were five in number and on mask. They were carrying sophisticated weapons but could not enter the house through the back side because the wife saw them and raised an alarm,” he said.
