The attackers, unaware that Sego was not at home at the time, forced their way into his residence and assaulted the security guard on duty before realizing their target was absent and subsequently fleeing the scene.
An aide to the NURTW boss, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the incident, saying, “It is true that some gunmen invaded the chairman’s house between Saturday and Sunday.
They forced their way into the building and overpowered the security man. After attacking him, they left when they were told the chairman was not around.”
The aide further explained that Sego was on the Island during the time of the attack, which may have thwarted the assailants’ plans. “We were on the Island, but they thought that we were in Surulere,” he added.
He also revealed that the attackers left a chilling message for the security guard. “Before they eventually left, they tied the security man and took his picture with a threat that he should not tell the chairman anything or they would come back and kill him,” the aide disclosed.
