“People I accommodated were Muslims, Christians, different tribes. Different tribes accommodated, me so I had to do likewise and that is what I did. People that I don’t know where living with me.
“Currently 18 estates people are living without Kobo for rent. I don’t see reason I’ll be collecting estate I’ll be collecting to this wonderful (Deborah’s) family then I’ll be asking them for the rent,” he said.
