“Though, I was an auto mechanic, I became an armed robber when my brother was kidnapped and my mum pushed me out of the house blaming me for his misfortune. After that time, life became unbearable as I had to struggle to survive and friends were helping me out. It was then I met Ernest who introduced me to this business. I have not made money from it yet as this is my first major operation”, he said.
