“There was a time when I was starving. It was break time…one interesting thing was that Zanetor had bodyguards, implying that all other students were well-protected. Students who attended Achimota at the time were extremely proud of themselves. You’ll mostly notice her car and the bodyguards watching her every move.

“I was hungry and went looking for my cousin, thinking I will get some food. I spotted Zanetor setting alone so I approached her. I said hello and she responded calmly and asked how I was also doing.

“I straight forward said I was hungry and so she offered me her toast and tea in her flask, I ate it. The interesting thing was that I took food from the president’s daughter,” Songo recalled in an interview on Asempa FM.
