The poor woman, presumably a widow who doesn’t have financial backing or anyone influential or wealthy enough to help her out, has cried out to the public as she begs the former first lady, Patience Jonathan, to release her daughter, Deborah Erema, who has been held in custody for over five years now.
In a video published by Sahara TV on Friday, the old woman stated that she was starving and had no one to care for her needs:
“Nobody go give me food, nah only her dey give me. I don’t have anybody. I just go beg beg. I am now a begger. See me as I dey now.
Please release my daughter, make she go find food for me. Nah she dey give me food. I don beg tire. I don tire. Make una leave my pikin for me. If I die now, who go bury me. Nah only her I get,” she lamented.
