“Before she left the house that morning, she had called her god-mother and told her she was going to look for an apartment.
“After some few hours, the god-mother received a call through Elozino’s phone but it was a man that made the call and requested that the god-mother should pay a certain amount for the apartment so she was surprised because they never discussed anything about her(god-mother) paying for the apartment.
“She then requested that the phone be given to the owner (Elozino) but the man ended the call.
“She then called back but it was a woman that picked the call and again requested the phone be given to the owner, but the woman ended the call.
