"We urge the public to take extra care when inside their homes. Home invasions and robbery attacks, where suspects enter the compound and lie for the doors or gates to open, is one of the most serious and potentially dangerous crimes in the country. Its therefore, important to always remain vigilant and practice safety measures, while inside the house further ensure all gates, doors and windows are effectively closed, constantly monitor any form of invasion in the compound," Police Spokesman, Fred Enanga says.

Police says that one of the immediate neighbours saw what was happening but did not react by alerting the police or other local politicians.
