There was this man known as MD who I met when I was selling phones in Kaduna State. MD was one of my customers who normally bought phones from me. In 2017 when I was attacked by armed robbers and all my phones were stolen, I was stranded. I then approached MD to assist me because he was always having money with him. MD then told me that since I knew how to drive, he would be giving me cars to deliver for him to several states and he was paying between N30,000 to N40,000.
