The permanent restriction, which was confirmed on Wednesday, resulted in the complete removal of an account boasting over 5.6 million followers and more than 158 million cumulative likes.

She said they had already collected scan fees and the surgery would cost 3.6 million. And I suggested a doctor I know in Abeokuta instead.”

Addressing the property dispute, he explained that Nimmy had reached out to express her desire to construct her own home. After consulting family elders, they agreed to allocate a segment of their family land for her.

He added: “About the house, she called me and said she wanted to build her own house. I told the elders in the family and they said we should cut out a portion for her from our family land. While I was building the house for her, she begged me not to let her mother know about it. That the first land she bought through her mother. Her mother later sold the land.”
