A shocking robbery incident has occurred at Hatlab Place, located on Sokode Crescent in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, leaving workers of Hon. Bamidele Atoyebi’s office in deep distress. The incident, which reportedly happened between late Saturday night and the early hours of Sunday, saw burglars cart away several valuable items, including high-end electronics and media equipment.

According to reports, the crime was first discovered early Monday morning when a cleaner arrived to carry out her usual duties. “When I entered the office to clean, everywhere was scattered,” she said, describing the scene of disarray that greeted her. Staff members who arrived shortly afterward were stunned to find that the office had been completely looted.

Items stolen from the premises include multiple laptops—an Apple MacBook, HP 15.6” FHD Touch laptops, two Dell laptops, and an OZCT Pro Max tablet—as well as a Sony FX30 professional camera, a 50mm Sony lens, and a Rode Reporter microphone.

Following the discovery, some staff reportedly moved around the building to check if other offices were affected, but no other section appeared to have been touched. This detail has raised serious suspicion among workers, who believe the attack may have been a deliberate, targeted operation.

“What makes the whole thing even more suspicious is that the burglars only went to the last floor where Hon. Bamidele Atoyebi’s office is located,” one employee explained. “They didn’t touch any other office. It feels like a planned job.”

Another staff member, Miss Favour Momodu, described the incident as both painful and worrisome. “This kind of thing shouldn’t be happening in a secured office environment,” she said. “It’s a sign that insecurity isn’t just from outside forces but can also come from within.”

Following the robbery, security officials have been alerted, and investigations are underway. The owner of the robbed office, Hon Bamidele Atoyebi, has been called in to write a statement tomorrow. Six people have been arrested in connection with the incident, while staff of the company have been asked to come in for questioning at the Wuse 2 Police Division. Law enforcement sources indicated that many arrests have already been made as part of the ongoing investigation.

Authorities are currently working to ascertain how the criminals gained entry despite the building’s security measures, while efforts continue to recover the stolen items.
