He maintained that he was roped in by one of the cult members, who was arrested for armed robbery and denied that he was a criminal. However, Spartacus did not state the relationship between him and the suspect, who mentioned him to the Police.
On the part of Akintayo, he admitted that he was the leader of Bola cult group and said that the group was formed to assist its members.
