Speaking with P.M.NEWS, Wale Ganiyu said he had stolen the generator a long time ago and decided to sell it when he needed some money. He also said that the buyer, Jamiu Tajudeen gave him one cell phone and N2,000 cash for the generator.
Responding, Jamiu Tajudeen claimed that he did not know that the generator was stolen as Wale Ganiyu promised to bring the receipt to him at a later date before his arrest.
“He did not tell me that he stole the generator. He said he will bring the receipt to me later; that was why I bought it, I gave him one Nokia handset and the sum of N2,000 cash.
