She said, “He served my father so much that he had practically turned to his adopted son. He was so bent on marrying me. I had to marry him because he was a loving man.

“After our marriage, he left for Lagos and was living with his brother. He later asked me to come. But I decided to live with my brother in Lagos at the time because Emeka had not got an apartment of his own. He was living with a brother of his.

“When the brother got married, he had to get his own apartment and that was when I left my own brother’s place to live with him.
