Barely a week after a commercial motorcyclist disappeared with a bag of maize flour in Abaji Area Council of the FCT, a wheelbarrow pusher has also escaped with half bag of rice belonging to a woman in Kwali Area Council.
The victim, Mrs Talatu Yakubu, who narrated the incident to sympathisers at the Kwali Market on Monday, said she engaged the wheelbarrow pusher to convey the rice with soup items to the roadside.
She said she came to the market and bought 30 measures of rice and a bag of Semovita and soup ingredients ahead of her daughter’s wedding on Friday in Sheda village.
She said she was buying pepper and tomatoes close to the market’s gate when the wheelbarrow pusher disappeared.
