I stole to raise money to feature Davido or Runtown in my music — Suspect
A 23-year-old Federal College of Education (Technical) Akoka student, Dare Williams, arrested for snatching a vehicle from a hailing service driver, has said he committed the crime because he was desperate to feature either Davido or Runtown.
Williams, who said he is a music artist, lured his friend, Bethel Chukwuocha, 18, to snatch a Toyota Corolla car from the driver, Clement Aniegbe, on Monday night.
Armed with a kitchen knife, the suspects who ordered a ride from Lekki to Gbagada said they threatened the driver with the weapon and sedatives to abandon the vehicle and his mobile phone.
Williams said his plan was to sell the vehicle for a million naira so he would raise the money he needed to advance his music career. He told reporters that he resorted to robbery after going round for help but got none.
