He said, “I am not a Uniben student, I only work as a community boy in Isior community.

“I was arrested in a place where I went to meet a friend who was drinking and the police took me to the Ugbowo Division and from there to the state command.

“I am a member of the Aiye confraternity, but about the killing of the Uniben student, I don’t know anything about it.”
