Mohammed: There are many facts which you don’t know.

Melaye: Edward is inside and mentioned. Don’t worry about that.

Mohammed: They included his name?

Melaye: Yes, I included his name since in the beginning. His name is inside.

Melaye: Do you know police are doing systematic work? And there is something I will tell you. There are places he hid guns and other arms.

Melaye: This is just between me and you and they wrote it in clear terms, the governor is waiting for prosecution.

Melaye: They also confessed that it was in the glass house that they were given N6.5m a day before.

Mohammed: You should ensure that Edward is involved because that is the only way to get them.

Melaye: I assure you, it will be done. I told you not to worry, is it not me?

Melaye: You ran and left me spending money on the matter, only me doing this war despite having billionaire friends. I am left alone spending money.

Melaye: Apart from the fact that you are a Muslim, it is impossible to abandon you.

Mohammed: If I call you, you don’t even pick my calls.
