In his reaction, Desmond Elliot expressed disappointment over Stella’s statement and threatened to remove her from his space.

He wrote: “Before I remove you from my space. You follow all people know me Wella. I’m extremely shocked at you. Stella like extremely. No be you at all. Where did we miss it. You wey suppose dey talk of the Desmond you know na you come my space dey talk this. No wahala we all go dey alright.”

Stella the reverted that she only spoke the truth, and Desmond is aware of it adding he can go ahead and remove her from his page.

Once again she replied: “Remove me from your space say you dey feed me? I said the truth and you know it, this has been your style for years. I am sorry if I sound negative. (according to some). I have respectfully unfollowed you, sir”.
