“I was
arrested on my wedding day. I met the gang leader, James Agba, last year. He
told me he knew how we could be getting regular money. He then initiated
me into the gang. I have taken part in at least 10 operations since I joined
them.
We used guns but I don’t know
where James was buying them. Sulaimon and Alhaji, who are also in the gang,
knew how the guns were bought for our operations. I have fired shots at our
targets but nobody was killed.”
