“I’m only trying to help my family because of the issue I had earlier. I have nobody to help me. So, that is why I have to get myself involved in this business, to cater for my family.

”I just started this year, because last year, Fulani herdsmen kidnapped me. I sold all I had; my building, my vehicle. Then, I have nobody that could help me. So, I had to sell what I have to free myself,” he said.

He, however, said he was not the owner of the vehicle, claiming that he only borrowed it to go to a burial ceremony before he could use it for a trip to get money to feed his children.
