“I did not know he has a mission. I did not know how he managed to duplicate my keys. He took me to the office on Monday.
“While I was busy at the office, he came back home and he took away all the money I have been saving since over a year ago.
“Every Dollar that I’ve been saving for my son’s school fees. I kept those money at home because the last time his brother was coming, we couldn’t get money in the bank.
“I have some money in my domiciliary account but we couldn’t get it so we ended up buying black market.
“This time around, I tried saving those money at home. At my event, people give me money. They dash me money. I made some money. Some customers will come to the store and buy in Dollars. Instead of me to change it, I will keep it.
“I’ve been doing this for over a year and Ibrahim came home, carried the entire bag. I didn’t even know how he managed to get to know where I kept it. He left with it. It’s over two weeks now that we have been looking for him.

“My son will soon go to school. I don’t know what to do. I’ve been the only one doing this thing. I’ve been working hard and doing every business that I can think of. Any business that I can think of, just mention the business and I’ll do it just for my children to be fine.
“Please if you have the means to help me get Ibrahim, please help me. I want to talk. When you see me on the screen pretending to be fine. But I’m not fine at all. I’m just trying to be. Please I need help. Somebody should help me.” She said.
