She said, “Please mothers pray for me, mothers in the world please help me with your prayers. I have never ruined anyone. I am tired, I can no longer bear it. I don’t have a home, I don’t have anything and my child is missing.
“I don’t have good health. I am exhausted. I have tried as a Christian. My first born Adeola has been missing for the past four years. I have been sick since January 2.
“I have done several tests, what is remaining is brain and heart test and it is N400,000, I don’t know where to find it. I don’t sleep, I am always in pain. I don’t have a house, I’ve been living in the church for the past 5 to 6 years. My church mommy is the one who feeds me sometimes.”
Appealing for support, Omoborty captioned the video, “Please dear colleagues, friends and fans, kindly let’s support. Whatever we can, it’s not easy anywhere but our widows mite collectively will go a long way. Thank you @biolabayo1.
