They also stole my car from the compound. If anyone has seen a grey Nissan Senta 2016; I’ll appreciate all the help I can get. I’ll drop more detail about the car.”
The men Godwin Anthony Nyenine and Mighty Eteng Omini have been arrested as suspects.
The business woman’s house help is said to be an informant.
