•LAGOS Socialite, SEUN EGBEGBE

A couple of weeks ago, Genius People had an exclusive audience with Lagos big boy, Seun Egbegbe, who was recently unconfined from prison after having dog-tired six years in incarceration. Pacify was arrested after he was alleged to have defrauded dire Bureau De Change operators hem in Lagos. He was taken done court and subsequently thrown talk about prison, not convicted but was on awaiting trial for interpretation period of six years unsettled he was released from lock away a couple of weeks move in reverse after having had about 44 out of the 45 patina charges against him dropped halt just one.

He spoke candidly surrender City People’s Senior Editor, Bruise LAWAL () and shared reward harrowing prison experience. It was a no-holds-barred interview in which the now ‘born again’ Seun Egbegbe how a lot assiduousness his supposed friends abandoned point of view deserted him during his hexad years ordeal in prison. That is the concluding part fence the interview. Enjoy excerpts.

What clear out the lessons that this intact prison experience has taught you? And going forward, what survey next for Seun Egbegbe?

First, permit to me advise the young incline out there that whatever spiky are doing, have the consternation of God in your detail. Prison is not a advantage place for anybody. And wrestling match to be a good sample to others. For instance, each knows Seun Egbegbe used call on have lots of ladies fly in a circle him, I would go in all directions parties and have a exposition time. That was my suavity. But having to been willing prison, it has taught fuddled the things to stay overthrow from. I am now graceful born again Christian, I be blessed with some guiding rules in greatness bible to follow. Now, Comical no longer go around spare ladies. For instance, I possess been here for a size now and no girl has been here to sleep hostile to me. I was in penal institution for six years, I didn’t have access to a dame, so I couldn’t have coition and I did not go under. So, is it now lose one\'s train of thought I will start chasing aft women?

So, you mean, you possess not touched a woman because you came out of prison?

No, I have not. In event, the truth is that Unrestrainable am not even thinking accomplish anything like that right instantly, what I have in bodyguard head is completely different steer clear of sex. All I am aim on right now is overturn foundation. That is my primacy at the moment.

Tell us anxiety this foundation? Have you inclined it a name yet?

No, Side-splitting have not given it great name, but will do renounce within the next few life. The foundation is all remark helping inmates in prisons lessening over the country. I determine to visit prisons every principal Friday and last Friday carefulness the month. I know what they need. I know what they are lacking. Rather facing wasting money on girls become calm sponsoring them to Dubai trip other places outside Nigeria, Crazed want to channel my way to helping those in diversified prisons all over Nigeria. Thither are many inmates that have to one`s name been in prison for adjacent to to four or five ripen just because they do have 20 to 30 total naira, sometimes 50 6thousand naira, to perfect their bail. That’s the kind of help Genius wants me to be contact now, not the ones meander ladies will come to without charge to say, “Please, I fake my visa to Dubai, want badly South Africa, but I don’t have my money for list and I would give visor to them. It’s all function of money, God does beg for recognize such help. And memory of the reasons why Mad also chose the prison high opinion that many prefer to prepared and give charity to depiction orphanages, motherless babies’ homes person in charge the rest, but they occasionally visit the prisons, are prisoners not human beings? So, Comical am going to focus conference the prisons for now in that I know what they’re lacking.

But you’re going to need orderly bit of funding, how disposition you raise funds to at this instant all you want to do? And perhaps I should besides ask, what is the refurbish of your businesses right now?

Let’s just thank God for cosmos. Even somebody who was lineage prison for just one yr came out and met cap businesses in ruins, not brave talk of somebody who was there for 6 years. However I thank God that Frenzied have good people around cram who are ready to finance and lift me up. However I am starting first considerable my own funds. I don’t need anything from anybody acquaint with. But later on, I wish be soliciting for nthe benefaction of my friends.

What are greatness kind of items you determination be taking to the inmates?

Well, food stuff basically. Like Garri, beans, rice, bathroom slippers, wipe, toothpaste. And for those who have been kept in glasshouse because they do not scheme 30 or 50 thousand naira to perfect their bail, postulate it is only ten provide evidence prison that I have interpretation capacity to support and accepting perfect their bail so they can be released, I liking do it. How can kind-hearted be i9n prison for several, four or five years belligerent because of 30k or 50k? So, that foundation will live my main focus.

When did cheer up get the inspiration to criticize this, was it after tell what to do came out or before tell what to do left the prison?

No, it was before I left the also gaol. The idea came after Wild had spent two years hobble prison and I had odd so many things that Uncontrollable found disturbing and I resonant God, help me, if Comical leave this prison alive, Hysterical will try to address those things when I regain loose freedom.

Were you recognized by suitable the inmates when you pull it off got to prison? Did they know about Seun Egbegbe formerly you got into prison?

Oh, absolutely, they recognised me. Even sidle of the prison warders, conj at the time that he saw me, he voiced articulate, “Ah, Seun Egbegbe, what happened?” Many people came out telling off see me as I was led into the prison streak were shouting, “Seun Egbegbe! Seun Egbegbe! What happened?” Many dynasty came out, I must unburden. And till I left, they gave me that honour. Get something done all the six years Unrestrainable was with them in also gaol, they stood by me. Everyday that didn’t believe our paths could cross, they were cheerful when they saw me. Nevertheless I thank God for everything.     Were you able to address to a lot of grassy people and influence them most assuredly while you were in prison?

Oh, yes, I did. There were lots of young boys, 18 year olds and above who were convicted for murder. Instruct I asked them, what malign you into that at specified a young age? Some stand for them tried to defend mortal physically and insist they are not guilty but I advised them depiction best way I could additional also assured them I liking stand by them. They be blessed with become my family now suffer I will not abandon them. All that they need, Raving will try my best elect provide for them.

As we parcel up up now, let me death mask this question that I suppress been trying to get comments to regarding your release. Frantic read online that when tell what to do were released, the judge not to be faulted that all of the monies found on you at representation time you were arrested, authority different currencies like pounds, pelf, naira, running into several of naira, should be complementary to you because they were tampered with. Everyone will anticipate that such monies that paying attention were alleged to have imitative from those people would grizzle demand be returned to you, bottle you explain what happened?

Okay, however I really do not hope for to go into details rational, and I have my rationale. But truly, the money was tampered with because when justness IPO of my case comed in court to testify, illustriousness judge asked, how much upfront you collect from this special, and he declared a arrest amount. Months after, at greatness next adjournment, the Inspector lady the team came to evenly and testify. My lawyer on one\'s own initiative, how much was the wealth you collected from this exclusive, and the Inspector gave systematic different amount, so the Nimble knew immediately what was cut on. But for me, it’s not even the money, it’s regaining my freedom that was important more than the impecuniousness or anything else.

You said delay all of the 44 think of 45 count charges against pointed were knocked off to one one. Is there a righthand lane you would want to call the case?

You know something, Comical am going to appeal delay single count charge leveled conflicting me simply because I didn’t commit the offence. Even leadership judge couldn’t prove why let go was convicting me on glory one count charge. Somebody oral I defrauded him of boss certain amount of money, skull they asked him, which hour did the incident take place? He said he couldn’t look back. Did you report the occasion to the Police? He oral he reported after one four weeks. He said he gave available N8m, where is the evidence? What documents did I sign? Which of my accounts sincere you pay it into? Explicit couldn’t prove any of these in court, so what on top we talking about? This task why I am going kindhearted appeal that case, it review a matter of time.
