This was the first time baby James was visiting his shags he hadn’t met his grandparents since birth.
However, the devil is a liar because, just like in the case of baby Satrin and his brother Gift Osinya, I have officially adopted baby James. He has been in very deep trauma due to his father’s tragic death. I will take care of him like my own son. He will now be part of my family,” read the caption. Sonko arrived with the young boy at the burial venue, holding his hand and showing parental care.

Sonko gave a moving speech next to Ombui’s casket, expressing his sorrow on the incident that befell the deceased. “I will continue seeking justice on his behalf until all the culprits who killed the only person he knew as a parent in this world are brought to book.
May his father’s soul rest in everlasting peace,” the caption read.
