"I visited baby Blessing and her Dad in their residence some minutes ago to deliver an envelope containing what was recently paid to them through me. The envelope contained N10,000 received from someone who prefers to remain anonymous and N50,000 from another person who equally prefers to remain anonymous.

This arose from N120,000 received from Anwulika Udanoh Bobbitt, N50,000 received from Ezinwa Nlewedim, N10,000 received from Uzzystouch, N40,000 received from someone who prefers to remain anonymous and N5,000 (five thousand naira) received from someone who also prefers to remain anonymous."
