A Twitter user, Henry The Pundit, tweeted that the owners of the cars that the Police had accused Chima and his apprentices of stealing had come out to deny that they were stolen.
“The Police accused the boys of stealing two cars. The owners of the cars have come out to say the boys didn’t steal their cars, that they were mechanics, working on the cars. Yet the police charged them to court for robbery and cultism,” he tweeted.
