Upon noticing, “I had to advise that he follow the queue, only for him to start shouting at me, saying “do you know who I am? I’m a General, and you have to attend to me, this was how I decided to call my supervisor to explain to the “General” how things are done here, but rather, all that was said in other to allow see reasons fell on his deaf ears, “shouting, I must be attended too”, and in that process, he dragged our supervisor, slapped her and left angrily.

“What I discovered thereafter was the presence of Army Personnel, coming directly inside Twins-faja supermarket, beating innocent’s customers, staffs while others scamper for safety and all I did was to hide under a cupboard, avoiding those soldiers the “General” brought to invade the supermarket not to get me injured, kate said!

Explaining further, Kemi said the Army officer insist they must provide her to him or he will unleash more mayhem on them and twins-faja supermarket.

“sir, the normal procedure is allowing for due process to prevail which means everybody must queue” this was all that was submitted before the Army officer pounced on me, insisting he was going to shoot me, after his cause of initial action.

Kemi said other soldiers came in, in their numbers, requesting the cashier to stop work, and ask that they provide her and the other person that held the officer’s hand.
