N254,000 only before he realised it was 419 and stopped communicating with him, until last month precisely 17/11/2016 when I met him at national Hospital, Abuja when my wife put to bed and he started shouting thief saying he wanted to arrest me. There and then an SSS officer who happened to be at the scene arrested me and took me to their office. I was detained there until 6th December, 2016 when I was trasferred to EFCC, Abuja, and our leader’s name is Smally and we are large in number. I benefitted the sum of N27,000 only (out) as my own share. On the 14th of December, 2016, the Defendant then wrote this additional statement to the EFCC: In addition to my earlier statement dated 6-12-2016, I wish to add that my Syndicate members are Ataye, Nnamdi, Peace and Linda. I don’t know where they leave, but there is a particular place we met. We usually met at Dape along Karemo road. The first day Dozie Ugonna brought N150,000.00 because it is only money he had in his account and I told him to go and come back the next day. The next day I told them that the money is spiritually hot, they need to bring some money to make the (spiritually) spiritual money cold. The said Dozie Ugonna had been brigining money instrumentally until the money reach N254,000.00. I benefitted N27,000.00 from the money collected from Mr Dozie. The rest goes to the members of my syndicate and the owner of the place called Smally from the bencustat he takes 20% of the money before they share the money and the rest of money will be shared among seven of us including the person that owned the place. 24
