“No doubt Prince Ehis Iyen is down with health challenge and frantic efforts are being made to make sure he regains his normal health. When it was brought to my notice that Ehis was down in sick bed, I wasted no time but took him to my personal doctor for diagnosis and treatment, I paid the bill.
“Later, he was referred to another hospital and consequently taken there for further diagnosis, I stood by him and paid the bill. Mr. Ehis was further referred to another hospital for medical attention, I was still the one who paid the bill. Ehis was referred to three different hospitals for diagnosis and treatment, and I have been there for him.
“If the man (I) purported to have abandoned Ehis happens to be the person who paid all the bills in these different hospitals, where did the authors get their abandonment story?,” He questioned.
