But on that day, it was his daughter that opened the gate. We went back the next day, it was still his daughter that opened the gate again.”

Mike, who was supposed to kill him, went to urinate and by the time he got back, Mr. Godstime had gone inside and shut the gate. So, out of frustration we went back home.”
“Thereafter, i decided to go to Mr. Godstime’s house alone to steal instead. As i jumped into his compound through the fence, somebody raised alarm which attracted members of a vigilante group in the area, who apprehended me.”
“I regret my actions and i hope i will be given a second chance” he said.
