“Vanessa told me that she was new in Nigeria from the United Kingdom and she was planning to start a fashion business in Nigeria.
“Since I am in the fashion business because I’m a model, she initiated a meeting with me to help her convince her mother to allow her embark on that business.

“I called Vanessa and she said that her gateman will meet me to bring me into their house.
