Mr Gildas was stabbed along with his wife but the wife was unlucky as she died from the injuries while the dad-of-three, a Cameroonian, who operates an international shipping company alongside his Hungarian wife was badly injured and was rushed to a hospital where he is being treated.
The main suspect, Goke, an electrician at Lugard Avenue, Ikoyi, where Gildas resides, had tricked the couple to gain access into their premises before they struck.
But they met their waterloo when the Lagos Police Boss, Hakeem Odumosu, led a team of officers to the scene of the robbery and arrested two suspects.
The suspects will be charged to Court after the conclusion of investigations, for murder which attracts life imprisonment if they are tried and found guilty before the Court for the alleged offence.
