“Only a few can do that, mind you. What happened between us is the work of the devil and the devil has been shamed. It is a solid reunion and I am very happy about it,” George said.

He was accompanied by Chief Okanlawon Shoboyede, Elder Wole Oyelese, Dr. Remi Akitoye, Dr. Ademola Dominic, Mr. Emmanuel Da-Silva, Hon. Dare Adeleke, Capt. Tunji Shelle, Mr. Abiodun Ejamai and Mr. Adriano.
