In the middle of the night on that fateful day, Kibure disclosed that his nephew's had woken him up, had him wrapped in a blanket before driving him in their car to where they dumped him at about 2am.

The distressed man told Citizen Digital of his land and property which he had sold, leaving him homeless, after which his children deserted him because he had become a burden to them since he lost the use of his legs.
