Operatives attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad Ikeja, Lagos have arrested four suspected members of a robbery gang that invaded the home of a  70year-old man in Epe area of Lagos,two weeks ago, leaving him unconscious as they made away with an unspecified amount of money.

The operatives had earlier arrested three suspected  members of the gang . Surprisingly, one of them was discovered to be the Septuagenarian’s  grandson

Shock and disbelief could best describe the expression on the face of Pa Reuben Idowu Olukoya , on discovering that his grandson  masterminded the robbery operation. The septuagenarian, had his  Ikunoloja  abode invaded by men of the underworld numbering eight and brandishing dangerous weapons.

They ordered every member of the family to lie faced down while  Pa Olukoya was asked  to go get them the proceeds from some property he sold earlier that day. Perplex at their request, the old man pleaded passionately , insisting he had no money in the house.

Throwing caution  to the dogs and  in a display of total disregard  for his age, the bandits reportedly hit the old man with an iron rod on the face, leading to his bleeding from the mouth and nose. Still , they insisted he must give them their demand.

Wreathing in excruciating pain,  Pa Olukoya managed to crawl into his bed room from where he handed an unspecified amount of money wrapped in several dirty clothes to the intruders, who left with a warning to shoot anyone who attempted to raise alarm.

After they  were certain that the bandits had  gone, Pa Olukoya was rushed to the hospital unconscious, from where doctors managed to resuscitate him.
