Egbegbe noted during the interview that he was sent to jail on just one count after his lawyer helped him defeat the other 44 charges levelled against him.

He noted that living in prison is a terrible experience, and he doesn’t wish it on anybody. Egbegbe also stated that he has decided to make it his life’s mission to go around jails in the country and help prisoners.

“My solemn vow” – Egbegbe shares

Seun Egbegbe said weeks after he arrived in jail and the reality of things fully dawned on him, he nearly died of depression but made a vow.

The businessman noted that he told God that if he made it out of jail alive after serving his 11-year sentence, he would turn away from his wayward life and devote himself entirely to the service of humanity.

Egbegbe averred that jail is such a leveller. He noted that he was in jail when he met former Ekiti state governor Ayo Fayose and famous Lagos-Dubai socialite Mompha.

The former movie producer shared a lot during his interview with Biola Bayo.

Below is an excerpt of the viral interview:
