When interrogated, Michael blamed his addiction to alcoholic drinks for his involvement in robbery

According to Leadership Newspaper, Michael said;
“It is true that I damaged the windscreen and side glass of his car and stole his handset and laptop. I didn’t do it ordinarily. It was because I just took some bottles of alcoholic drinks and liquor. I beg for forgiveness. Devil put me into the act”.
