He said that he wanted to call the police at Ayila that night but Akeem pleaded that he should not call the police but rather they should take him to the police station because according to him, if the police see him, they will shoot him so he was kept in the custody of the OPC till the following morning before he was handed over to the Police.
Items recovered from him include two mattresses, 46-inch Plasma television, two speakers, pumping machine and one gas cooker.
