Public Notice!

This shop you see right here has been in existence for the past 8+ years, serving the Mikindani community and others at large. Throughout the journey, business has been good and bad, something any business owner can attest to. We have always considered the place safe until recently the thought of installing CCTV cameras came up due to increased cases of insecurity, something we regret not implementing at the earliest.

On Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, thieves broke into the shop and made away with desktop computers, TV, and External Hard Disk Drives. Whoever the culprits are, they seem to have had inside information on the operations of the business because the hit seems to have specifically targeted the Movie business.

We have since reported the matter to the police and investigations are currently ongoing. If you happen to have any information that will lead to the successful arrest of the culprits and recovery of the stolen assets, kindly contact us on 0733912350 and a reward of 20K shall be given out.

To our loyal customers, you have patronized our business over the years and we managed to serve your unique needs to the best of our abilities. Following this incident, we shall remain closed for a while as we ponder our next move. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this heinous act has caused.

By Management,
