The attackers escorted the man to the house, where his wife and two daughters were waiting inside.
Two of the robbers took the man into the kitchen of his home where they threatened him then proceeded to hit him over the head with a gun, while a third man held the victim's wife and children in the living room.
The assailants then made off with an undisclosed sum of cash, two walkie-talkies and two mobile phones.
