"If you go out there and say all manner of things, consider the family first, put the wife, put the children, put the father (in your shoes)

"Just take yourself...that if you are the mother, is that how you would want people to go about spreading rumours about the death of your son?" onuaonline.com quoted him to have said in an interview.
