Befor my husband's death he told me of this deposit and advised that l with my son should travel to Abidjan Cote D'lvoire to claim the box containing the money from the security company with the help of a foreigner which he did not mention any name. l with my son has located the security company and when we went to the security company for the claim of the box containing the money the security company advised that we should provide a foreigner for the release of the box to as it was what the depositor my husband told them at the time of deposit.
