“Please, I am begging Nigerians to help me. I am calling on everyone to come to my aid. Wherever I may have wronged my wife, I sincerely ask her to forgive me. I am human and not perfect.
All I want is access to my children. They are my flesh and blood, and not being able to see them has been very painful for me. I have been suffering quietly and carrying this pain alone.
I am appealing to my wife and my children to please find it in their hearts to forgive me. I am asking Nigerians to help plead on my behalf so I can reunite with my children. I am truly going through a lot in silence.”
— Kingsley Ikenna, father of Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey, makes an emotional appeal, asking Nigerians to help intervene so he can regain access to his children.
