“On Friday, November 26, I left home and branched at a place where they sell car. I said I wanted to buy car and the seller and I agreed on N2,650,000. I sent N2,650 to his First Bank account and unknowingly to him, he gave me the documents of the paper and I left.
“On Friday last week, the police came to my house to arrest me and I took them to where the motor was.”
It was gathered that Nureini has taken the car to a painter in Iwo to change the colour from green to gold. He also confirmed that he had earlier that day sent N2,500 for a car of N2.5m.
