saying that, “this is a first in a series of attacks” they will carry out on
his household.
Onazi added:
“Those robbers came, pretending they were there to deliver a letter to my dad
at about 1.40pm on Monday, as soon as he collected their fake letter and asked
where it was coming from they swooped on him, tied his hands, beat him up,
inflicting machete cuts on him in the process.
“They told him
this is the first in a series of attacks that they will launch on our house and
that I( Onazi) will be their target the next time.
“Those guys took
their time to take some valuable materials including a car and some cash but I
am thankful to God they didn’t do more than that.”
The family have
already reported the incident to the police, while Onazi’s father has been
discharged from the hospital.
