He promised personal compensation and specified that the items could be dropped off at the hotel where Mayorkun was staying. Iyanya reiterated his intent to reward the individual responsible for the return.

Today, he shared the news that the second pendant had also been found, extending sincere thanks to the people of Calabar for their integrity and assistance in recovering the stolen items. The pendant was returned to Hit FM Calabar and received by Mr. Duke Emmanuel, who facilitated the transfer of the recovered pendant.
