The controversy arose after a video resurfaced, showing two of the suspects visiting Poloo’s shop at Osu Blue Gate, where she sells provisions such as her popular Tom Brown powder and natural honey.
In the Facebook video, Poloo was seen holding one of her products while interacting with Abdul Aziz Mamoud, a mixed-race man, and Edgar Dongar, known in the fashion industry.
Another clip on Facebook showed the two men, aged 40 and 33 respectively, among the four arrested in connection with a spree of jewellery store robberies.
Speaking in an interview on Okay FM on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, Poloo clarified her connection to the men, claiming they were not friends, as many had speculated.
“I only met them that day because they came to purchase from my shop. Whenever I am around, I often record videos of customers for promotion, but I always ask for their permission first. That video was one of many; it does not mean I know them personally, and I have not seen them since.”
Poloo added that she only became aware of the arrests four days later, when social media users began tagging her and linking her to the robbery suspects.
“People were saying the police should call me to assist with investigations. Investigations for what? I don’t know them. In the video, you can clearly see I was only showing my products to them for sale,” she emphasised.
