We sold one for N50, 000 and my share was N15, 000. The second one was at Sango when we snatched a motorcycle and sold it for N30, 000. We sold it to Baba Ijora at Mushin. My share was N5, 000.
“The third one was also at Sango, we sold it for N35, 000. The same Baba Ijora bought it. He has escaped; they gave me N6, 000. We use only one gun for all the operations. It is a single barrel locally made gun, two of our members escaped. Sunday is the owner of the gun”.
