You bought the dress on me when you were 17 years and cake too. The first cake I ever cut at 49 years. Then you were working with Naija beauty hair and Vicky will pay you after shaking your head. You saved it and did my first birthday. I will forever mark your birthday with you in your temporarily resting place. JUST KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU FOREVER” she wrote on her IG page as she shred photos from the visit

Killaboi fled Nigeria and was declared wanted by the Nigerian authorities. He was eventually caught in Sierra Leone, having changed his identity and purchased a new passport. He was arrested by Sierra Leonian authorities but nothing came out of his arrest.
