“Somebody now called me that I should come and see,that what I saw is human being not dull baby. I brought it out, is a small baby.

“I am calling everybody, the police, let everybody help me find out who has the baby.

“Since I bought the compound I have not had rest of mind.

“After God gave me money to buy the compound, I have been having issues, I dont know what I did to people.

“Every corner they are pursuing me, sometimes I cannot sleep at night, cat will be crying at my window.

“Sometimes I will come out from my yard to see something I dont expect, I dont understand anymore.

“I am begging everybody to help me, I did not do anything weong to buy a yard, I did not steal money to buy the yard.

“I dont know what I did to people that they are pursuing me.”
