I am no longer playing games with this man!" he said angrily.A number of people were coming in and out of Segoea's office claiming to be his clients as well.  Some were not allowed to get inside the office to see him as security officers had locked all the doors, due to the commotion.Segoea was rescued by the police who escorted him out of the building.For his part, Segoea dismissed the allegations that he owed anyone money.

I refused to go with him because he had gone crazy and threatened to assault me," he explained.
