The duo named one Femi aka Dangote and Emmanuel a.k.a. God With Us, as the persons who initiated them into petty stealing after they met at a hemp smoking joint at Iyana Iba area of Lagos.
Confessing, Ramon said: “ I was arrested on the February 27, 2019 at about 4:00pm by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Lagos state police command. There was no way one can start vulcanizing work without the pumping machine. The machine was the biggest huddle to my starting vulcanizing work. I had even secured where to do have my workshop at a very good road junction within my area but I could not start because I had no pumping machine.‘’In my desperation to survive, I started making friends with people whom I thought could assist me to survive like giving me money for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
‘’I paid N20, 000 to train as vulcaniser but what they were giving me was not encouraging. If I get my freedom I will not join robbery gang again,’’ he added.
