“It was all about money”, the source stated. “He ran away because he had no cash. He has really ashamed. We feel sorry for Mercy Twinomujuni”.

The source further revealed that Phillip feigned mental illness when he was probed about his dramatic actions.

“He was speaking uncoordinated words. We feared that he had ran mad”, he stated.
