residents of the area who expressed anger that such a thing was
happening around them without their knowledge.

father’s other wives, stating that his father lived a wayward life that
made him divorce his mother.

his family in prayer because he knew he was a bad person who had done so
many terrible things and he wanted God to forgive him through his
children’s prayers. He continued: “My father cannot say that I didn’t
take care of him and my other siblings.
I took good
care of my father even when he didn’t take care of me. My father lived a
very wayward life as a person. ‘’He stopped paying my school fees which
made drop out of school. He went on to marry a second wife. As if that
wasn’t enough, my father took a third wife and he married her as a
70-year-old man.
‘’I was not happy with my father, that was why I
don’t go close to him but I made sure I provided all his needs. I bought
him a car and a bus. They are in our compound and I also gave him N3
million which he used for his pig and fish farming business.
One of Evans houses (Dens) in Ejigbo ‘’I know I have done terrible things but I want to be forgiven. I also want to advise other criminals to turn a new leaf.
The
Nigeria Police is not what it used to be. They are far more advanced
than they were. If they could arrest me, there is no criminal they can’t
arrest, “he stated.
