According to reports, the white man relocated with his wife from Spain to Sapele and has been living in the area for about two years now. The armed robbers reportedly used wood on the couple along with axes as they were beaten and injured in the process of the robbery.
Below is what Rexbtony Omaghomi Okoroatsegor shared on Facebook;
“Hoodlums came to my mum’s Residence destroy properties shot and injured my mum and her Husband as well as my Brother. This happened in Sapele Delta state Nigeria on the 25th of March 2018 they operated for close to 3hours without response from police or vigilantes from 12:00AM to 3:30AM.
They came with guns cutlasses and iron cutter which they used on the burglary proof. What gave them tough time was the iron door else they would have wreck more havoc and they made away with some money and valuables destroying our vehicle, but while leaving they left behind a cut to sized gun which obviously fell when they where running out of the compound.
Funny enough my younger brother was able to sneak out to call neighbors but nobody came out he further ran to Ghana road Police station in Sapele which was the closest to us at Anigboro Rd around Owumi/abeke and they said its not their Business( in their words they said: e no concern us) asking him my younger one to go to the main Police station after stadium far off.
Advice please don’t rely on fancy doors use those iron doors constructed by welders it helps cos if it was to be the fancy one it wont take time to breaking I thank God for Life as my mum survived the gun shot at her.”
