Ekhueorohan said that the defendant was paid N2.2 million by the complainant, Mr Gbenga Ayansiji, to clear a Hyundai Satare 2014 model  from the Apapa Port.

He submitted that  Olawale received the money but stopped picking the complainant’s  telephone calls.

The prosecutor added that Olawale  started avoiding Ayansiji.
