“I was in a tricycle around Okere Market barely a week ago. These guys just entered the Keke (tricycle) and tried to confuse me.
In the process, they robbed me of N96,000 cash and an Infinix Hot 6 phone valued at N48,000.
“If anyone had told me that the police could track and bring back my phone and even apprehend the suspect, I would hardly believe it,” the victim told reporters.
