with money laundering because £1 million cash was found with him.And the
funds have since been confiscated while assets worth £10 million belonging
to the governor and the family have been frozen and seized which I myself
was arrested too.
At the moment, My Husband Governor, Chief D.S.P. Alamieyeseigha has been
impeached and arrested and all the families international passport seized

from the Finace company and keep 20% of it to yourself so that at the end of
this troubles, the family can get back at his feet.I want to alo let you
