However, on Sunday, August 17, Success said he decided to offer Comfort assistance "to help her reintegrate into society".
He tweeted:
"Considering the trauma she experienced, which could lead to depression or suicidal thoughts, I felt compelled to act.
"She's shown remorse, and I believe it's time to support her in her journey towards rehabilitation.
"That was also the reason i offered her ticket to attend the 3rd Edition of the Delta Social Media Summit Coming Up August 28 at the Maryam Babangida Leisure park in Asaba.
"My intention is to promote kindness and rehabilitation, not to condone unruly behaviour.
"In Delta state, we prioritise helping those in need, regardless of their background, because we recognise our shared humanity as Nigerians. I'm sorry if my kind gesture has been misconstrued as it now appears."
