wasn’t every story that was published about me that was true. Some people are full of scandals; most people don’t want me to bounce back.

“In that rehab I didn’t take their drugs and medications which they always administered. I used spiritualism to heal myself.

“Ayiri Emami was broadcasting his name that he was helping me. But the person doing the whole work, Captain Hosa Okunbo, was not broadcasting his name at all.

“He has spent millions of naira on me, while I was sojourning in London and he has not announced it to the world. That rehab you are talking about, if Ayiri didn’t broadcast it, nobody would have known about it.. 

sponsored the rehab but he didn’t keep his mouth shut.”
