Quote
“I smoke between five and six wraps of Indian hemp daily. I don’t take cocaine, but I take Chinese cigarette, if I cannot get Indian hemp.
“I am not a thief, I don’t rob. It was one of the boys that we sleep together, who stole a phone at Computer Village,”
The Cross Rivers State indigene added, stating that she came with a relative to Lagos about six years ago, but was later abandoned.

Some of the ‘kid robbers,’ who were all products of broken homes, said they were initiated into smoking Indian hemp as early as 11 years old when circumstances made them to become vagabonds.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the arrest to newsmen saying efforts were ongoing to apprehend the fleeing members.
