Meanwhile, in his defense, Bassey said, “I do not have anything to say to you people. Are we judging the case here?

“All I know is that I owe this boy (referring to the unnamed victim).
“I borrowed money from him to put my car in order, because I had an accident. He is not my friend, he is my customer. That is all.
“There is no point giving my own side of the story, because there is no judge here,” Bassey added
