The sales girl, Imaobong Isaiah while speaking to newsmen said: “The
two girls entered my shop on pretence to buy from me but after picking
all the costly female hand bags, shoes, men gens, hand watches and
cloths worth forty-five thousand naira; instead of them to pay for what
they have bought, they sent me to go and buy them drinks. So, I went to
buy drinks for them at the nearby shop.
“As I returned, I met them making calls, and immediately their
operational Keke man who was on a standby to pick them came and they
went inside the Keke with all my cloths without paying.
“So, I told them to give me my cloths, they refused. So, I started shouting, help! Thief! But the Keke man had already moved.
“As God would like it, luck ran out on them, the people around and people using car pursued them and caught them.”
The suspects who are currently in police custody admitted to being involved in all kinds of robbery, after being interrogated.
