Some police officers and security operatives were visibly downcast and disappointed after a thief got away from them during a hot pursuit. According to Facebook user Emmanuel, the security agents were pursuing a robber who stole a mobile phone from a victim before the thief decided to play a fast one on them by jumping into the big gutter and escaping through the tunnel.

The policemen had to stop their pursuit at the point as they ”hoped” the thief would resurface.

A large crowd gathered at the gutter as they joined the security men in waiting for the thief who had long escaped.
