Muftawu Nabila, who has run an electronics shop for four years, was robbed by two different employees during that time. Before traveling to the United States in June 2026, Nabila hired a third attendant who could take up to $30 a day.

He further told her, "We have to generate the money from the shop for me to pay you. So if I pay you, pay electricity bills, shop rent and you steal some, where am I expected to generate money?"
