According to information made available to our reporter, the incident occurred in the early hours of October 1, 2026, when the suspected armed robbers stormed the event centre at about 12:30 a.m.

After overpowering the security guard, the robbers reportedly broke the gate and drove a Hiab vehicle into the premises before proceeding to remove the 100KVA generator from where it was installed.

The operation was said to have lasted for more than three hours, during which the security guard remained restrained.

Sources said the suspects eventually succeeded in removing the generator and escaped from the premises with it.

The incident has since been reported to the Nigeria Police in Kabba, while investigation is ongoing to unravel the identities of those behind the theft and recover the stolen generator.

Meanwhile, the management said that despite the theft of its generator, its services would not be affected, as temporary arrangements had been made to provide power supply during its already scheduled events for this weekend.

As of the time of filing this report, no arrest had been made in connection with the incident.
