Then I had no choice than to give him my phones when I saw blood dropping, he started beating us and asked his friend to give him that handkerchief (but the guy driving said his spirit doesn’t want him to harm us) but he should collect everything from us.

So they collected the things we bought @ the Shoprite, they took my friend’s phones and mine too, her waist watch, my neck chain, our handbags, asked for our ATM cards and thank God none of us came out with it.

They searched us and collected the cash we had on us’ they even collected my friend’s ear rings ????– then dumped us on a lonely part.
