UPDATE: The audio dropped like a second confession.
Akinbolusere Kayode, the man Ondo called Tolufe, was on the line with his lawyer. He stated his full name. He said he was the one making both the video and this recording. Then he spoke of the woman no one was meant to hear about.
Everything the second wife needed, he said, he had already given. She must not, under any account, disturb his first wife after he was gone. He listed what he had done: he sponsored her father’s burial. He sponsored her maternal grandmother’s burial. He built her a house and bought her a car. He sent her mother abroad. He sent her child abroad. He gave her his mother’s car and bought her another brand new one. He bought her land worth ₦36 million.
He paused. “Are you recording me?” The lawyer said yes.
He returned to the same point, over and over. His first wife was the most peaceful person. He was the one who derailed. He went outside the marriage and married another woman in secret. The first wife never knew. All his properties, he declared, must go only to his first wife and their children.
Hon. Bayo and Hon. Akinlaja were to witness the will. There had been no time to meet face to face. He had called them to append their signatures.
He ended the way he began: "My first wife never troubled me. I am the one who looked for trouble and brought it into my life."
The first wife is still left with the silence. The rest of the story has not finished speaking.
ADÉLẸYẸ is my name
