In a video interview he granted to @yomilistens, the man said he had gone to the JAMB office to rectify an issue.
However, when he returned, he discovered that his father had died, and this broke him emotionally.
The man who identified himself as Amodu Idowu said his father was his best friend, and his death affected his life a lot.
He said:
"I wrote JAMB that year. That should be 2005. I just went to JAMB office to resolve an issue I had. Before I got back, he is gone. I was just 18. It destabilised me because he was my best friend. Anytime he is about to take any decision, critical decisions, he will sit me down and ask for my opinion at that very young age. It grew with me. He taught me how to take on challenges. Anything that comes to you as a man, you take it and you react in a positive way, not in a negative way."

When asked if he is married, the man said he is and spoke glowingly about his wife, whom he described as a good woman.
