Contrary to earlier reports that star actor Kalu
Ikeagwu was abducted by gunmen in front of the gate
of his house in Ogba area of Lagos around 3:40 on
Monday, September 26, he was actually arrested by
security agents following a robbery and homicide
case.
According to Encomium ng,the newly married actor,
who returned home around 8:30 pm, explained to his
worried neighbours that his personal assistant bought
a stolen phone from Computer Village in Ikeja, and the
thieves reportedly killed one of the victims of the
robbery.
He told neighbours that the crime happened in Abuja,
and the phone was traced to Lagos by the security
agents who later came for him since his address and
name were used during the purchase.
One of the neighbours told Encomium.ng that his
arrest was in the afternoon after he dropped his step
daughter at home from school. He had parked his car
at the gate, dropped the girl with her mother as if he
was on his way out again.
He was said to have received a call from one of the
operatives who had been waiting for him. And as
soon as he stepped out of the gate, he was asked if
indeed he was Kalu Ikeagwu, and he confirmed his
identity.
He was politely invited, but was about arguing with
them when they brought out their guns. Neighbours
who had tried to step in, stood back as soon as they
saw the guns. He was ferried away in a bus.
By the time they left, his wife was crying.
When he returned this evening, he went round
neighbours to thank them and also explain what
actually happened …
