So this morning the adabraka branch which I had a sales girl working for me was attacked as early as 9:09am the guy demanded for a 6splus then later said 6s then now later said IPhone 7. As my sales girl went to take the phone he held her and cut her throat and finger, lucky the wound didn’t go deep, we rushed her to the hospital. The theif was cought and will be facing the law soon. So because of this the adabraka branch will be closed this week and we hope to open by Monday. Kindly say a prayer to my trusted sales girl who’s more like a daughter to me. Y’all have a wonderful night. #igoodsgh
