She said, "I don't have the foggiest idea about any of these pack individuals. Without a doubt I purchased around 100 containers of beverages from Lanre's dad (Gbadamosi). That was in April 2015. I didn't know the products were stolen. The man was my companion's significant other. It was the man who said he had a few products to offer and I paid him. I can't review the amount I paid for the containers. I have never met his child or any of these individuals. I have kids and grandchildren; I can't burglarize."
Gbadamosi said he had partaken in two theft operations, including that he had atoned.
He said, "I am not the ring pioneer. Be that as it may, when the police captured me, I got to be calm. I was the person who drove police agents to capture the others. I had gone to victimize on only two events. I can't say the amount I made. I was into board business some time recently. A companion acquainted me with capturing trucks and I made N300,000 on my first operation."
The Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2, Abdulmajid Ali, who paraded the posse, said examination was progressing.
