He said, "I just noticed that Chukwuman stopped coming to work without any notice, I try to put a call through in a bid to reach him but was abortive. Sometimes ago, a friend of mine hinted me that he saw him distributing dispensable water to our customers mostly banks and other big companies in Lagos.

"Since that day I started to keep tab on him until I caught him red-handed selling produced water with several registered names in an unkempt environment. Afterwards, I hinted RRS team on patrol which led to the arrest of the two suspects."
