The principal manager of Premier Lotto popularly known as

out of him in Lagos state, western Nigeria.

The staff identified as Segun Oyesunmi allegedly contacted
two suspects, Gbenga Olunuga, 35 and Paul Alimele, 35 and paid a certain amount
of money so that they can rob and kill his boss, Alhaji Akin Abubakar, to
enable him over the leadership of the business in the LGA.

The suspect were arrested and charged before a Magistrate’s
court in Ejigbo with attempted robbery and murder under the Criminal Code.

While Segun Oyesunmi who provided every information to the
suspects including where they would recover some money in Abubakar’s home and
office is now on the run.

However, before the suspects would carry out the operation
at Abule-Oki area of Iyana Ipaja in Lagos where Abubakar resides they were
rounded up on a tip off.

The suspects who reside at Agbara area failed after they
contacted Wale to join in the operation and to help them to acquire equipment
for the operation.

While they were discussing the operation in a hotel, Wale
who pretended to be interested leaked it to local vigilante in the area who
contacted the police.

and gave them the assignment to rob and kill Abubakar and whatever money they
realized from him would be shared.

Olumuga revealed that Segun equally mobilized them and
revealed where they would go inside Abubakar’s house and office to cart away
some money which he realized from the lotto.

place and to also identify him in person.
