This robbery is to be his last case.

With an almost 50 year age gap between her and her husband, they have little or nothing in common. Neither can the Senator satisfy Temi’s physical needs, hence she has a lover on the outside who tends to that part of her being. To keep her busy, she owns a boutique in Ikeja Shopping Mall but often uses the business as a cover just to get out of the house and away from the Senator.
