The Declaration

The entirety of her statement reads like this:

“LEAVE NOW ALIVE OR LEAVE AS A CORPSE

Many have died believing that everything is well while wishing, praying, and hoping for a better day.

I do not want to “die” or go inexplicably “missing”.

I apologize publicly and in a sincere manner for committing a lie over the last few years. Contrary to speculations about random events that there was troubles within my “perceived paradise”.

For the second time in the space of two decades, I’m on social media, announcing that I’m done with my marriage. My long-overdue and unrelenting stance regarding this issue is not a surprise for Austin Faani, the doctors and my parents.

If the pressure is on and suddenly, I’m incommunicado. In that scenario my lawyers along with the welfare department as well as police force of Nigeria Nigerian police force will have my statements in recorded videos/statements that are set to be released across all social media platforms as well as national newspapers.”
