"Out of N50 million, let him give me N20 million first. He is not worthy of the trust a father should have on his son. I gave him a cheque of N50m, he went and grabbed the money. Let him return the N50m, what is he doing with the money?," his father spoke with anger and disappointment.
The man said that Chijioke made a fool of him and doesn't want him to run the business anymore.
"Has he made N1m? Has he made N100k himself? I don't trust him. He is not worthy of any trust.
"I don't want you to run the company anymore. Give me my money and instrument of management. Go away and start your own business."
He slammed Chijikoe for hoping that he would die and revealed that approaching court became necessary as the young man had avoided honouring calls from their elders over the matter.
