Command’s spokesman, Mr Joseph Kwaji, who confirmed the incident to newsmen in Jalingo, said the robbers attacked Sadiq’s residence at about 10pm on Saturday and carted away his Honda car and other valuables.
Kwaji, however, said the car had been recovered, but that the correspondent’s Home Theatre set, a television set, iPad, cell phones, laptops, desktop computer, among others, were still with the attackers.
He said the police had since commenced investigation into the incident, stressing that the perpetrators would soon be brought to justice.
Narrating his ordeal, Sadiq said he returned home after seeing off a friend, who visited him at about 9.30pm, and met seven men armed with guns inside his house.
''They requested that I should give them money. They told me that they were asked to come and collect the money I had and that if I refused to give them, they should kill me,'' the journalist added' Unfortunately for them, I had no money on me and that was how they resorted to packing my electronics and other personal belongings. They requested that I give them my car key, which I did and they packed my electronics in it and drove off.''
