He said: “ I just saw it (Sniper) as something
that kills insects and decided to use it to
preserve the beans and kill the insects therein.
I was applying the chemical for the first time
when a woman approached me and warned
that it was dangerous. A few minutes after,
some policemen came to arrest me. My brother
(Faith) was not around when I put the Sniper
in the beans .”
