Hoodlums have burgled the apartment of an Ondo State-based journalist, Mr. ‘Tosin Ajuwon, and carted away valuable property.
The hoodlums broke into the building located at Irese community in the Ifedore Local Government Area of the state through the window and made away with two television sets and vital documents.
It was gathered that the burglars burgled the house when Ajuwon and other members of his family were away.
It was the second time that unknown persons would break into the apartment to steal valuable property.
Speaking on Tuesday, Ajuwon described the incident as very shocking, frightening and a direct attack.
He explained that the hoodlums came into the apartment through the backyard after breaking the burglary window.
“It is the most shocking incident because the burglars came into the apartment when we had left the house for work which shows that they must have been monitoring our movement. They came in through the backyard where they damaged the burglary proof and entered through the window,” the journalist said.
“They ransacked the whole room, scattered some of my documents in a most frightening way. In fact, it was a direct attack. They stole two television sets (a 55-inch Hisense Curve TV and an LG 32-inch TV) while they also took away some vital documents.
“We have reported the case to the police in the Ijare Division and they have promised to identify those who perpetrated the evil act. I trust that the police would surely go after them.”
Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Oluwafunmilayo Odunlami confirmed the incident to journalists in Akure.
Odunlami said the burglars broke into the apartment when the journalist and his family had left the house.
She explained that the police have begun an investigation into the incident and vowed that the perpetrators would soon be apprehended.
