But when she was asked to elaborate on what she did as a “hustler,” she explained that she meant prostitution. Bakare in company with four other members of her gang, were apprehended on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 by the men of Ogun State SARS, who had been on their trail after receiving a tip-off about the gang’s plan.
