He also disclosed that he had handed over the phones he collected to one of his colleagues, Akube (now at large) before he was arrested.

 
Abayomi, an Eiye cult member, also confessed that Monday Obayemi, who was equally arrested with assorted hard drug, robs and sells hard drugs in traffic to the suspects and other criminals on a daily basis.
