He said, “While they are operating, our people innocently open their premises and commercial outlets to them for the evacuation of their wastes, but unknown to them, these cart pushers who are mostly foreigners collate vital information on how to compromise the security of their premises and pass them to the men of the underworld and sometimes join them to rob and terrorize our people.”
