An unrepentant Mohammed confessed that he was an errand boy, adding he had no regrets over his actions

“We have been engaged in the business for some time and some applicants have succeeded in getting jobs through this means so I never thought it was fake. I can assure you that 95 per cent of jobs in Nigerian are gotten through the same way. If I have succeeded with this, I would have become a hero but since I have failed this time around, I have now become a criminal,” he said in a Vanguard Newspaper report.

“I have nothing to regret. My only regret is that it did not work out as planned and my hope of getting a huge amount of money has been dashed.”
