Nigerian
actor, Kalu Ikeagwu was arrested on Monday at his residence by Policemen over
an armed robbery incident that happened in Abuja.
According to Encomium Magazine, the police stormed the actor’s home at
Gbagba crescent flat, off college road, Lagos at around 3:40 and whisked him
away over a robbery and homicide case.
While narrating what led to his arrest, one of his neighbours
said that he was nabbed in the afternoon after he dropped his step-daughter at
home from school.
He had parked his car at the gate, dropped the girl with
her mother as if he was on his way out again.
“He was said to have received a call from one of the
operatives who had been waiting for him. And as soon as he stepped out of the
gate, he was asked if indeed he was Kalu Ikeagwu, and he confirmed his
identity.
“He was politely invited, but was about arguing with them
when they brought out their guns. neighbours who had tried to step in, stood
back as soon as they saw the guns.
“He was then carried away in a bus.”
The newly-wed actor was later released from the police
station at around 8:00pm.
He explained to his worried neighbours that he was taken
for questioning over a stolen phone he bought that’s related to an ongoing
investigation of a robbery case.
He said: “My personal assistant bought a stolen phone
from Computer Village in Ikeja, and the thieves reportedly killed one of the
victims of the robbery.
“The crime happened in Abuja, and the phone was traced to
Lagos by the security agents since my address and name were used during the
purchase.
