The accused in her statement explained that she wanted to implicate Pastor Richard because of the misunderstanding between her and the Pastor.

“I am not in good terms with Pastor Richard. We even have a pending case at the Magistrate Court here in Kano. That was why I wanted to plant cocaine in his apartment to implicate him but I was caught in the process by NDLEA Officers,” she told The Nation.
