I caught my uncle stealing from my mother's savings for years

My uncle, my mother's own brother. The one she trusted with everything. Since I was small he dey collect her money every month, say he dey save am for her. My mother no get bank account, she believe family pass bank.

Last year my mother fall sick, we need money for hospital. I go to my uncle, he start stammering. He say the money don finish. I say how? He say he use am for business that fail. I check his house, see new generator, new TV. The man don finish my mother's savings.

I never tell my mother the truth. She still think her brother dey hold her money safe. Some days I just look at her and my heart dey break. Family can wound you worse than any enemy.
