James confessed to following Jimade as a result of the challenges he was facing, being stranded in Abuja.
“I was not robbing before, but why I decided to follow him (the doctor) was because he promised to rent a house for me and furnish it because I have no place to stay in this Abuja,” James was quoted as saying.
"I don’t have a family in this Abuja. I met him in his hospital. I worked there as a cleaner. I am facing some challenges which I always tell him. It is only me and him that went for that Toyota operation but I don’t know how many they were in the other ones.”
