According to Paul, out of the 550 fowls he had in his poultry farmthe accused stole 280 fowls which was why he reported the matter to Calvary Police Station .
Paul stated further that after the police arrested the accused, he promised to pay N10,000 each week to him until he finished paying the value of the chickens.
