However, he said they later sold the properties they bought around 2007 due to the global financial meltdown that happened then.
After 30 years of living in the UK, they decided to return home. When they were coming home, they had only £1500 (N2.9 million).
Also, at that point, they had not finished their house at home and he was in debt.
