According to the police, the victims were in their yard when they noticed a man enter the said yard from the gate.

“One of the victims who was seated at the time got up from his chair and was dealt a lash to the left side face with the handgun by the perpetrator after which he pointed the handgun to the businesswoman’s head and demanded money,” the police explained.

It is alleged that the perpetrator then ran out of the yard with the articles and cash, making good his escape in a white Axio motor.

According to the police, the suspect is identifiable, however, the car’s registration number is unknown.
