He further revealed that his sister was sacked by the school over fears of losing their students if their parents found out that one of their teachers was related to him.
“My sister recently lost her job because her employer found out she’s related to me.

“When she called me to tell me, I was saddened.Her knowledge, skills and competencies were not in question.
“I felt so bad knowing that my name would ruin things for her and so, sometimes she denies knowing me,” he said.
