DW1: When I was working at the Force CID Headquarters Abuja, I met with one Arizona and we exchanged contacts. After about a year later, he called me and asked if I have a cheque book and I said no. He then requested me to look for one around and I now meet one Nzude Okafor at that time I was in Enugu with my parents. I now explained to Nzude Okafor what Arizona requested from me, that is to look for a cheque book for him. Nzude Okafor now said he has a cheque book and as such I called Arizona and informed him that someone has the cheques book he is looking for. He then sent me a phone number and said when Nzude Okafor bring the cheque book, I should call the number and take the cheque book to him. I then called the number and the owner of the number told me to meet him at a beer parlour at same Enugu town. I then met the person and gave him the cheque book. The person said his name is Uwa. But I have never met him before. After I handed over the cheque book to him, I left. After some days, the same Uwa called me to collect the cheque book.
