‎He said

‎"Four years ago my father was kidnapped. He went to visit his friend that lost his son and when he was there kidnappers came in to kidnap his friend, my dad just happened to be there and he saw that one of the kidnappers was a nephew of the man. My dad's friend and his brother dragged for a land and my dad's friend won the case, angry that he lost the case he transferred hatred of his brother to his son and that one was responsible for the kidnapping.

‎Negotiations began thinking that would solve the problem. My father and his friend didn't return till today, it happened in Imo State. He will be buried next year because by law and tradition you have to give ample amount of time to see if the person will return. I have gotten details of how everything happened so the burial is next year.

‎I know my father and his friend are dead, I even know how he was killed. He was stoned to d4ath continuously. I know about it because it is my father that gave birth to me, I Waka for the case... they are 16 of them that committed the crime and only one is alive now, he cut a deal with the government that led to the arrest of other gang members so he was given amnesty.

‎After the demise of my Dad. The heavy weight of caring for the family has been placed on top of my shoulder. I comfort them but they don't know what I am going through. My dad was 75 when he was k!lled. Even me, I don't understand myself sometimes, thank God here in London there is therapy."
