She said though her father had not been found but that the family remained optimistic that he would soon show up in the house. She appealed to well-meaning Nigerians and the Islamic community in general not to relent in their fervent prayers towards the discovery of the whereabouts of her father.
On the choice of widows, she said she saw them as a segment in the society that required attention and assistance. “I also believe Allah answers their prayers rapidly and I want them to also join me in prayers on my father. We wake up daily, hoping to see him return to the house and since we have exhausted all we could humanly do, we are relying solely on God to miraculously help us out. Apart from the widows, I also gave out gifts items to so many of my fans who have been part of my progress in music.”
Packaged by Okiki Films, the event, described as the best to have been organized by any Islamic artiste in the country, was graced by all the notable Islamic artistes, amongst who were: Alhaji Wasiu Kayode As-Sideeq, Baba N Waka, Ayeloyun, Saoti Arewa, Ere Asalatu, Omotayebi, Iya N Kaola, Gbemisoke, Temi Ni Success and Akogba, to mention a few.
