The 73-year-year-old, in an interview with BBC Pidgin, said he made the necessary preparations for his death three years ago when he marked his 70th birthday anniversary.

According to the septuagenarian named Usoro, he has also written his wills. Usoro, however, said he keeps updating it to "keep up with time."
