Reports from online sources suggest a shared history between the couple.

A comment on his Facebook, when he married Blessing, pointed to the fact that he abandoned his children financially.

Their social media activity depicted a seemingly affectionate relationship, leaving observers puzzled by the tragic turn of events. The two would always post pictures together and those of each other showing deep love for each other.
