In a tweet, Taiwo said he remembered the picture when Tems said her mum had been there for her and her brother. He added that the trip was sponsored by his firm, TaijoWonukabe, which took their staff and associates’ children to the fun park.

Simbo, Tems’ mother was a doctor at the firm’s HMO (Health Maintenance Organisation) and she kept an eye on her daughter Tems 13 years ago at the playground.
