Confession
The suspect, Osim, said: “I bought
the fake gun for N200 for the operation. I have known the victim, Mr. Anesh,
for about a year now. I didn’t ask him to give me the application because I
knew he won’t give it to me because he had already installed the soft-ware. It
is about a year since I started working with the man.

“I used hood to cover my face
because I felt if I did not, they would easily recognise me. Unfortunately,
they recognised me. I went to steal the laptop, not money, because it contained
an accounting software. They don’t buy it here in Nigeria; you have to buy it
online and I don’t have the facility to buy it.

“Initially, when we entered the
compound, I didn’t cover my face. It was when I entered the building that I used
the hood to cover my face. After I collected the laptop, I did not know that
the driver had seen me. After the driver recognised me, I couldn’t run. I was
there when they called the police and I was arrested. We were two that went for
the operation but the other person escaped. This is the first time I am doing a
thing like this and it was the laptop that took me there.”
