sister was hooked up with his friend. When he finished making love to
me, he brought out N500 saying that was the only money with him. That
was how the trouble started and when they wanted to fight with me, my
colleagues came out from their rooms and subjected them to drink a
little from the water we used in washing our private part before they
were let off the hook.”

hours keeping surveillance of the community, the Police public relations

had in the last two weeks been arrested. They have been charged to

security agents will keep 24 hours surveillance with a view to bringing
the hoodlums to book,” she said.
