The policeman continued: “We are inviting all the media to be there for us, this people call their self leaders are all aware that this money use to be in some people joint account to get interest, then after 3-4 month they pay, no one will say he don’t know what is happening that this money is not paid, God will come down himself to help Nigerian if really this is buhari handling this country this way, i better die for truth then to be, seeing nonsense.”
The police commissioner was quoted saying Japhet has been transferred to Zone 12 headquarters in Bauchi.
