He was afraid I’d be kidnapped, so I don’t say I’m his mother. – “They went to shoot E.P., they beat him. I pleaded with him to name the people who beat him, but he refused. He was worried I might be kidnapped, so I never told anyone I was his mother.
“He rented the house for me, and I lived there for five months. He made three visits. He also rented me three stores, and on the day he passed away, he promised to send me N5 million.
