I<br \/>\nsimply asked to know his identity and he flared up asking<br \/>\nme if I was mad and warned me not to ask him again;<br \/>\nfrankly , I told him it was important he introduced himself,<br \/>\nnext he held my t-shirt against my neck so tightly like a thief<br \/>\nand brought out a dagger; he then beckoned on his<br \/>\ncolleague who crossed over the road to meet us with a gun<br \/>\nand they forcefully took me to their shoprite duty post. My<br \/>\nsimple crime is who am I to ask for his identity; the<br \/>\ncolleague used his gun to destroy my Toyota venza side<br \/>\nmirrors and anything glass and drove it to their yard. While<br \/>\nall these was going on onlookers had raised alarm and<br \/>\nbunch of Uvwie sons and mostly my supporters trooped in<br \/>\nto rescue me and on seeing the mammoth crowd, he took a<br \/>\ndock into the mall and frankly they went after him in protest.<br \/>\nAt this point it was still under control until other criminal<br \/>\nelements hijacked the protest and it became riotous.<br \/>\nHowever, I sincerely apologise for your loss and accident.
