How much is the whole shoprite,it's goods,its land even everything that pertanet to shoprite.It's not up to that amount she might stole..
Fake news

Exactly! One month na hin she make all that money? Not true. Shoprite sales staff always hand over their collections per shift and at the end of the day the monies are collected by their bankers. There's absolutely no way she could have fleeced the company of N500 million without being noticed. If they say it happens piece meal over the year, then its is understanable but then it is only through small small chops which cannot amount to N500 million - this is fake news.
