It was Ossy’s men who usually pick out our targets. They were the ones who picked out all the targets, my job was to give support and my boat is very big and my boat boy is a professional and knows his way around the water very well,” he told Vanguard Kelly also revealed how his gang members killed 9 operatives of the Department of State Service in September.
