“My own personal and special Angel, this is not when you should go. Am going to release all the proofs of things that amounted to your d3ath to anyone who wants to expose evil and share truths. Am done keeping quiet!,” he wrote.
“Evil shall never depart from all who assisted our enemies to do evil reportage. God ensured they couldn’t destroy me after they believed they removed you with their different fabrication of your d3ath. They don’t want the public to know but all their secrets shall be out. I want you back, my complete satisfaction. Am done keeping quiet!
“I CAN’T SAY GOODBYE My Precious Wife and Heartbeat. This is too much for me.”
“I love you for life. You forever have a place in my heart. God!.”
“The registrar in Abuja confessed that they visited her office to ask her to deny our marriage even after breaking into our home and stealing our marriage certificate, your jewelry and other things. They want to bury you and even make the government of Delta State appear as an unlawful government. The World shall know the whole truth. Am done keeping quiet! They forget there are proofs in black and white
