Olu: What do you mean officer? Bayo is my best friend, I have nothing to do with what happened.
Dolapo: You’re found in possession of hard drugs if when taken in excess and lead to incapacitation, brain damage and eventually death. We also found sleeping pills in your apartment, from our records; you don’t have any health challenges that require the drug.



Dolapo: Mr Olu, you’re the last person on his call log, on his body, we found traces of drugs we found in your apartment, you’re the only one planning to meet Mr Bayo and you decided to meet him after telling him you’re postponing the meeting till night. Mr Olu, you have access to Mr Bayo’s belongings especially his Range Rover which you used this morning. Is it out of envy?
(Olu placed his hands on his head)
Olu: Oh Lord! Excuse me, what is this wrong allegation for? I want my lawyer
