A hardworking Nigerian businesswoman was left heartbroken and in tears after discovering that her shop had been burgled overnight, just one day after she had painstakingly offloaded and stocked multiple bags of rice for sale.

One of the sympathetic voices heard in the video remarked, “All the bags of rice she just offloaded, they broke her shop overnight. We just offloaded rice and they took everything. This is the fourth time.”
According to eyewitnesses and people present at the scene, the woman had just finished restocking her shop with a large quantity of rice bags intended for sale during the coming days. However, during the night, thieves broke into her store and carted away every single bag of rice, leaving her with nothing but sorrow and financial devastation.
The woman, overwhelmed by the magnitude of her loss, reportedly shared that this was not an isolated incident. Shockingly, this marked the fourth time her shop had been targeted and looted by criminals, making the situation even more painful and disheartening for her.
