@LawrenceEzeali: “Admitting to have participated in one is sufficient to nail him already. If he likes, let him deny others.”
@itumomartins: “Same thing that happened in a client’s company. The MD uncovered a plot to kidnap him. The mastermind was his personal driver. Someone that he housed in ikoyi. The driver is now in Prison along with his group. The love of quick money is driving people mad and into crime.”
