Adeyemi disclosed, ” At the beginning of 2024, out of carelessness and without really thinking about what I was doing, I ordered a so-called ‘mystery box’ on the internet.
“It contained items that are not permitted under weapons legislation. Many months later, the package was delivered and ended up unopened at the police station.
“Nevertheless, it was a huge mistake. One that I am very sorry about, that cost me dearly, and that I deeply regret.
“I have learned more from this than I can put into words. I promise you that I will avoid such mistakes in the future.”
