A notorious armed robber suspect in Rivers State, Ogadinma Amadi, has said that he became an unrepentant criminal because he was looking for money for the treatment of his mother currently suffering from stroke.

I was into armed robbery before I was arrested by the police. I was not able to stop armed robbery because I needed money to get my mother treated. My mother has stroke. “If I am freed, I will stop armed robbery. My aim is to meet a pastor, who will show me the way after delivering me from the spirit of stealing,” Amadi stressed.
