He said he got drunk while on duty and was later dismissed from his job.

His words:

"The biggest mistake I made in life is that when I was working with LASTMA, I made money, but I misused that opportunity. That is what brought me to this current stage I'm now. On a day, I make nothing less than N30,000. I saved N20,000 every day. That is N460,000 a month. I invested in transportation. I bought two buses and a car, Golf 3 then. So, I gave it to two of my friends to manage on my behalf. But they squandered that opportunity. So out of annoyance, I have to sell the two vehicles."
