He accused the comedienne of ruining his image with false accusation on social media, Edochie was in that video and is heard vowing not to forgive the comedienne. “You will go from here, you will die from this so that others can learn”, Edochie said in Igbo.
In the meantime, help may be on the way for the comedienne as activist Harrison, Givamnishu has promised to take her to the best hospital in Lagos.
