Basse Area Council chairman slam market thieves as ‘bad’ people who he says are still kept in custody

By Adama Makasuba

Police in Basse are keeping nabbed thieves of Monday’s Basse market fire that destroyed almost the entire market in custody.

The thieves whose number is not yet known by The Fatu Network were arrested during Monday’s blaze. They were reportedly acting as if they were also trying to fight the fire.

“Those thieves are still kept in custody as they help the police in their investigations. Those bad people because as people were in trouble trying to put off the fire, they were busy stealing people properties,” chairman of Basse Area Council Foday Danjo said.
