A footage of the Close Circuit TV in his home showed that the suspected hired assassin invaded his home at the early hours of Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0He dismantled the burglary proof at the entrance and proceeded to the staircase where he broke into the bedroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kazeem said he \u00a0did not sleep \u00a0at home on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The candidate praised \u00a0God for sparing his life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kazeem said: \u00a0\u201cTuesday was my last day in office as the executive chairman of Coker\/Aguda LCDA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I resigned that day \u00a0to have time to campaign for the election.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I was presented with the party\u2019s flag as the ACN candidate for the House of Representatives for Surulere.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019There was a send forth party at \u00a0the council secretariat in my honour .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I left the venue around 10 pm . I decided not to sleep at home because there were many guests waiting for me at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I stayed away. I received a call on Wednesday morning, around 7:15, that \u00a0an intruder invaded my home in the early hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe CCTV captured the incident. \u00a0He entered my bedroom through the ceiling.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u2018\u2019When he found \u00a0nobody in the room, he \u00a0stole many valuables, including the cell phone of the boy sleeping close to my bedroom.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The former council boss said: \u201cThis political period, you never can tell who your enemies are. According to the CCTV, the incident occurred between 3 and 4 am. Imagine if I had I slept \u00a0at home, the story \u00a0would have been different.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By the grace of God, the culprits will be brought to book.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
