In her tribute, Teni praised her father’s courage, especially his fight against armed robbery. She recalled him as a guardian of the community, who had taken down many robbers before his untimely passing.
Teni also paid respect to her father’s three wives, whom she lovingly called ‘sisters’ from various regions of Nigeria.
