Gunmen invaded the Anthony, Lagos residence of Sam Amuka, publisher of Vanguard Newspaper, on Saturday.
The incident was said to have happened ahead of the publisher’s trip to South Africa.
According to Vanguard , the gunmen, numbering five, also assaulted the octogenarian by using iron rods and some
dangerous weapons on him.
His mobile phone, electronic gadgets and other valuables were reportedly stolen.
“The hoodlums reportedly stormed the one-storey building located on Adebayo Mukuolu Street at about 1.30 am in a
Toyota car. They parked their vehicle close to the gate with one of the gang members inside, while others scaled the high
walls of the publisher’s expansive compound,” Vanguard said in its report.
“They cut the burglary proof of one of the windows with chisel, from where they gained access into one of the sitting
rooms… when they could not open the entrance door leading to his bedroom, they broke the ceiling and succeeded in
getting in.”
He was said to have been ordered to “bring the money or get killed”.
“Two of them were armed with pistols, while the rest had iron rods, cutlasses and other dangerous weapons,” the
newspaper quoted a witness as saying.
Amuka is a veteran journalist. In his heyday, his column ‘Sad Sam’ attracted a large following.
Before he established Vanguard in 1983, Amuka worked as an editor at PUNCH, which he co-founded. He was also an
editor at Daily Times.
According to Wikipedia, he is the oldest practicing media professional in Nigeria.

Hope he's ok?

I suspect PDP , this is about the Panama leaks , they didn't steal money ?? only laptop and mobiles, i bet the CEO is not crazy enough to leave the documents on one laptop

Since Bubu can't stop Vanguard from supporting PDP and NDA next option was to either arrest the owner using EFCC or using outright violence to bring them under his wings.

Uhmm

APC why na make una allow the man dey talk true.
