People living on Luck Way in Benin City were really upset. They found a man who they thought took some money and a phone from a lady at a shop. She helps people send and get money using a POS machine. The people got very angry and hurt him badly.
This man took things from a lady at her shop. Her shop sells snacks and drinks. He acted like he wanted to buy something but then took her money and phone.
The lady said he came to her and asked for some biscuits and drinks. He told her he was going to use them for a party to remember a friend who had passed away.
She helped him and was putting the things in a bag. But then, he asked for water too. So, she went inside to get it. That’s when he took her bag with the money.
When she came back, he said he needed to go get one more thing from another shop. Then, she noticed her bag was missing.
She got worried and called for help. Young people nearby heard her and ran to catch him.
The people got her bag back. It still had her money and phone inside. They almost hurt the man really badly, but then police came and took him away.
