“I stole to raise money to feature Davido or Runtown in my music” — Suspected car thief confesses

A self-acclaimed singer identified as Dare Williams, has revealed that he stole a car to raise money to feature singers Davido or Runtown in his album.

The young man was recently arrested for snatching a vehicle from a hailing service driver. He however confessed that, he went into armed robbery because he was desperate to gather enough funds to pay Davido or Runtown to feature in his own album.
