“Not knowing that after they must have gone for the first time, they came back for the second time as a form of reinforcement. And began to destroy all the Keke and vehicles that were parked here.
“They destroyed my Keke and still rolled my Keke down to their station. So, I have not seen it now. A new Keke, brand new.”
