Mrs. Olayinka Olatimehin Olaiya

It was sometimes around 5pm United States Central time. This was well into the night in the United Kingdom. I received a call from my brother in law, Femi Olaiya on my cell phone in Houston. He wanted to know where I was. That was strange - Very strange Question. Why would Femi want to know where I was? He needed me to be alone.
