Odu, the UNIPORT graduate, lamented about how difficult it was for him to get a job after he had been laid off in his former place work, which made him join the car snatching business. His accomplice, Coker, revealed that he was a member of the Buccaneers fraternity back in school, but he does not go on operations with them but helps only with their assignments in class.
