There was confusion inside the popular Abia Shopping mall on Tuesday, July 13 as soldiers locked up shoppers over missing money.
According to locals, soldiers in mufti parked their RAV 4 vehicle at the parking lot of the outlet in Umuahia and went inside to shop.
When they emerged, they raised alarm, claiming their vehicle had been vandalized and money was stolen. They are said to have called for reinforcement and their colleagues immediately arrived at the shopping outlet in a Toyota Hilux vehicle.
