- An elderly Nigerian woman experienced a significant loss after burglars stole her entire stock of palm and groundnut oil from her shop.
- The stolen goods were valued at millions of naira.
- The incident was shared on TikTok by user @beaofoodhub, who is the daughter of the affected shop owner.
An elderly Nigerian woman was devastated after burglars broke into her shop overnight and made away with her entire stock of palm and groundnut oil, worth millions of naira.
The unfortunate event was shared by TikTok user @beaofoodhub, who revealed that the affected shop belonged to her mother, a long-time vendor specializing in palm and groundnut oil.
According to her account, the burglars gained access by first breaking into a nearby tailor’s shop and then forcefully tearing down the wall that connected it to her mother’s store.
“They struck between Wednesday night and Thursday morning,” she said in the post. “They took 44 kegs of palm oil and 5 kegs of groundnut oil. My mum wept like a child.”
She further narrated that the thief used an indirect route, entering from a third street, breaking into a church compound, scaling the wall of an abandoned property, and finally forcing entry into the tailor’s shop linked to her mother’s store.
Only 8 kegs of oil were recovered during a search in the area. “We found his bag on top of the stolen goods. Watching my mum cry was heartbreaking. But I trust God to restore everything twice over,” she added.
The case has been reported to the police, and the family remains hopeful that an investigation will lead to positive results.
The story has drawn widespread attention online, with many expressing sorrow and outrage over the incident.
