“Sometimes, when she does not have time to go, she would call on me and give me money to get the items for her. She gives me N1 million to take to the market for her.
“On that fateful day, I planned with one of the boys that issues tickets along Idanre Road to carry out an attack on the woman, so as to collect the N1.2 million.
“We were three in numbers, but the third person ran away. I was given only N20,000. I asked for the balance and they are yet to pay it. He gave me the money while I was with the police.
“It is remaining N380,000.”
