Atmosphere of anger and rage as Some Security Agents last Tuesday, locked up customers inside a popular shopping outlet, known as a Shoprite, which located in Umuahia, Abia State capital.
A source who spoke to our correspondent, on the condition of anonymity explained that trouble started when an unidentified Security Agents in mufti parked their RAV 4 vehicle at the parking lot of the outlet and went inside for shopping.

When they came back, they raised an alarm, claiming that their vehicle has been vandalised and their money has been taken away from where it was kept.

Angered by the development, they sought for assistance of their colleagues who immediately besieged the shopping outlet with a Toyota Hilux vehicle carrying about 6 Security Agents and locked up customers, preventing entry and exit from Shoprite.

They insisted on having access to the CCTV footage to enable them to study how the money allegedly got missing.

They were later said to have freed the customers and left the area.

The correspondent to the Century News update gathered that this treatment did not however go down well with the customers who have threatened a protest over the action of the Security Agents.

As at the moment of this report, mobilisation of members of the public was allegedly ongoing to stage a peaceful protest.

Every efforts made by our correspondent, to reach the authorities of Security Agents in Abia for a comment was fruitless.
