“He came back again with a and made a demand to the market authority to apprehend the suspect and return the money,” he said.
That forced the main bus station to close and force the PMVs to relocate to Unagi Oval.
Terry said the officers had gone to Gordon police station, lodged their report and later went into the market and made their demands.
