Mzee Jumaa pointed out that he would take action and call for a press conference where he would spill out all that transpired, if the son, Diamond, did not respond to his call.

She however cited that she had a conversation with the singer´s mom, Sandra, and had agreed that the dad needed urgent medical attention.

¨We are in the middle of the process. We are looking for a passport for him at the moment¨ were Zubeda´s last words to journalists, before taking her flight back to London.
