OAP, Toke Makinwa revisits childhood home where she lost her parents in a fire outbreak

By Patricia Uyeh
 On Air Personality, Toke Makinwa revealed in her book, On Becoming that she lost her parents in a fire outbreak caused by a gas leak when she was just 8 years old.  Well, Makinwa decided to revisit history. She visited that very childhood home that got burnt way back. Here is what she wrote on social media at that place:
3-5
“2 radio interviews, and a visit to where I lived as a child in Abuja. I’ve never been back there, it holds so much emotions and I always told myself I will only go once I have exhaled. Today I did; it was good to see where I played as a child, my home and so much more.”
