“At the early hours of today, around 1.a.m, this same guy and his gang tried to rob one of the biggest businessman in this area.

Skolombo van was on patrol and residents were shouting for rescue.
“The Operation Skolombo security guys shot at them, two of his
members escaped while the bullet caught him right in his upper
abdomen,’’ he said.
