Thieves raid popular Bibiani chop bar, steal meat, eggs and utensils in bold midnight heist

The eatery, Di Woho Nkomo, is widely regarded as one of the best chop bars in the area, a reputation that appears to have drawn the attention of criminals focused not on cash, but on cuisine.

According to a report by Oyerepa, the thieves struck at an odd hour and made off with a bowl of grasscutter meat, crates of eggs, goat meat, gallons of cooking oil, and various kitchen utensils.

“They did not touch money or electronics—only food,” a local reporter noted, adding that the thieves seemed to have a clear appetite-driven agenda. “Anything that contained food or meat, they took.”

The owner of the chop bar, whose identity was withheld, told Oyerepa that this was not the first time such an incident had occurred.

Despite the repeated thefts, she has refrained from reporting to the police, expressing doubt that any meaningful action would follow. “I’ve stopped wasting time reporting. Nothing changes,” she said.

In response to the incident, the frustrated owner revealed a new measure she intends to enforce: she will no longer allow customers to linger in the restaurant after meals to watch television—a practice she suspects may give potential thieves too much time to study the premises.

The video and story have sparked mixed reactions online, with many expressing concern over rising petty crimes and questioning the effectiveness of law enforcement in handling such localised incidents.

Others sympathised with the chop bar operator, urging authorities to take community-level theft more seriously.
