waist, and allegedly threatened Shekede before demanding money and all her valuables.
Shekede went to her room and took cash amounting to US$115, a G-tel Infinity cell phone, an Itel
cell phone and handed them to the robbers.
The robbers also took a Wifi router and a remote controller from the unmanned guard room and
disappeared.
