Segun Atanda/
Police are still on the trail of one Peter Udoh who allegedly drugged and robbed former finance minister, Dr. Kalu Idika Kalu.
The incident occurred at the former minister’s Lagos residence in Ikoyi late last month.
The suspect, a native of Ogoja, Cross River State, was working as a junior steward in the Kalu’s household at the time of the incident.
According to family sources, the suspect laced the former minister’s coffee with an unknown substance that made him fall deeply asleep immediately after drinking it.
He thereafter invited accomplices who were already on standby to ransack the house for items they considered valuable.
Some of the items they stole included, money, wrist watches, jewelry, mobile phones, laptops, an iPad and documents.
NewsmakersNG learned that some of the stolen items had been recovered from a shop in Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos.
Spokesman for the police in Lagos, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, could however not confirm the number of suspects in custody over the incident.
The former minister reportedly travelled to the U.S. immediately after the incident.
