The Nation reported that the lady who claimed she sells clothes, said;

“I am a businesswoman. I sell clothes. I was arrested after I requested for a contract in the name of the wife of the President. I only sent text messages in the name of the wife of the President for contracts.

I only did it once and it is because I lost the money for business and I didn’t have money to do my business. I registered the Sim at Durumi area of Abuja.”
