His confession:

“I got home and I told my mum what had happened to me, but she thought I was lying. When it was time for me to return to Lagos, I asked her for transport fare but she told me she had no money because she never believed me in the first place. Left with no other option, I decided to go and rob to get transport fare back to Lagos.”

“I stole two plasma television sets from a shop at High Level to raise money for my trip back to Lagos. I am not happy that I got caught, but I want the world to know that I went into robbery because I had nobody to help me.”
