In a viral video circulating on various social media platforms, about three hooded men holding pangas and another holding a rifle are seen forcing themselves into an office where two women were seated.
They demand for money as they pick several items including a laptop, phones and money they found on table among others.
They later resort to breaking a metallic box inside the box using several tools including a hammer but all in vain. They are seen struggling to open it until unidentified man came from out and hit one of them before taking off.
In confusion, their mission seemed disrupted and left chasing the man.
