However, Encomium confirms that the newly-wedded actor was actually arrested in connection with a robbery and homicide case which took place in Abuja.
According to
reports, Kalu was taken to the police station for questioning as a
result of a stolen phone he purchased which was connected to a robbery
incident in Abuja where one of the victims was killed.
Kalu had
been approached in his home by the agents and had been invited for
questioning but when he began to argue with them, the men brought out
their guns before taking him away in a bus. His wife and stepdaughter
were reportedly left in tears.
Kalu Ikeagwu was later released and
returned home around 8:30 pm and he reportedly explained to his worried
neighbours that his personal assistant bought a stolen phone from
Computer Village in Ikeja and the thieves reportedly killed one of the
victims of the robbery.
The phone was traced to Lagos by the
security agents who tracked him down since his address and name were
used during the purchase.
Moral of the story: Sometimes it’s just safer to buy a new phone than a second-hand one.
