Aduku was reported to have told the thugs that if they were sent to kill their dad, they could go ahead. “At this age and with what I have rendered so far, I have nothing to regret, if you reciprocate it with killing me” he added.
It was at this point, the thugs suddenly became weak and instead of their intended mission, dispossessed Aduku of his phones Laptops and other gadgets and left him unhurt, the source said.
