P.M.EXPRESS gathered that Lamidi allegedly broke into Nseobong apartment, stole the items, sold them and retained the sim card and started using it.
However, when Nseobong bought another sim card and tried the number of the stolen phone, Lamidi picked the call. She engaged and pleaded to the suspect to return the sim card because of the contact numbers in the Sim card which are so important to her and offered to do anything in return.
