He said a sum of N100 million was also given to him to build a mosque opposite Badeh’s house and a civic centre for the community.

He revealed that his company Vinplast Nigeria Ltd is jointly owned with Badeh’s family in a share structure of N4m to himself, Alex Badeh Jnr N3m, and Kamtufa Badeh N3m.
