Chioma, also revealed that she had her son out of wedlock, long before the

to the office with her son to query the government on why they should take the
boy.
“It was discovered after thorough

hand of a third party and all the complaint said was affirmed by her in-laws.”
Speaking after reuniting with her son, the
