What has made the issue murkier, Mr. Kwao disclosed, is the fact that his wife cannot give birth again since due to a surgical procedure on her womb.
“We have two children and Prosper was the third. Now that he is dead, my wife cannot give birth because her womb has been removed [sic]”, he bemoaned.
