The mother of late Nigerian boxer, Segun Olanrewaju, has spoken out following allegations made by her son’s widow, denying claims of maltreatment and neglect. In her account, she described how she supported her son and is partner during their relationship, insisting that she made efforts to care for them and maintain peace within the family.
