       2. After a careful evaluation of the facts and circumstances which led to the filing of the
          said cases, I came to realize that it was due to misunderstanding and
          misapprehension of facts ;
       3. I am no longer interested in the prosecution of the above-entitled cases against the
          accused and have put great importance on fact that he is my grandson and that
          peace and harmony within the family is the best thing to consider;
       4. I understand that when the this office allows the dismissal of the above-mentioned
          cases, I can no longer file them against the same respondent/ accused;
       5. The execution of this affidavit was not due to any price or consideration and that my
          family and I, were never threatened, forced or coerced to sign and request the
          dismissal of the cases;
       6. I was able to understand the legal consequences of my desistance in the above
          entitled complaint against the accused and despite such legal implications, I am very
          much willing to withdraw and dismiss the complaints I filed.
       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I hereunto affixed my signature this 18th         day of July, 2013 at
