Recall in 2023, the Suebebe gained attention after publicly seeking financial assistance, and apologising for his wrong past.
He said, “I was just living life recklessly. I engaged in minor activities, and I was making money constantly. However, I didn’t have a mentor to warn me about my lifestyle. None of my relatives advised me. So, I saw myself as the Don.
“So, Nigerians, please. Anyone I have wronged, knowingly or unknowingly. Please forgive me. I should prostrate while begging, but my health won’t allow me. Please forgive me, especially all the women I have offended. I know I have stepped on toes regarding the issue of women,’’ he added.
Burial arrangements will be announced by his family members.
