"The first lady wanted to go out with my kids together with the one she was carrying at her back, I refused and told her that I don't like my children going out and that they're looking after their younger one which is my third child who is still suckling. So those my kids started crying after I had flogged them not to follow the initial lady. Then the remaining lady who was cooking cocoyam outside now left what she was cooking and entered inside their room and stayed for sometime after which she came outside with phone charger and then went to those my kids that were crying. So in the bid to console them because I was busy washing clothes, she now took them away telling me that they were going to come back soon that I should look after what she was cooking."
