As quoted;
“The things that kept us were the radio and the Bible and even for the Bible,

“That was somewhere in August or September 1982 in prison when Rawlings
had unleashed monsters and could not control them and I fell in love with that, will never forget,”
He said this as part of his reflection of the ‘ugly’ past under Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings when he was imprisoned for standing against oppression.
