for 8 years and still counting has he could no longer afford their school fees. age 14, 13 and 10.
punch
report has it that the man who got separated from the wife decide to enroll
them in a boarding school but never showed up again, every attempt made by the
school authority to reach him prove abortive. no one seem to know his
whereabout.
According
to the school’s principal, Samuel
Ayegbusi, it was the children’s father’s sister that paid the initial
school fees of N150,000. However after that, no further tuition payments were
made, and the school decided to allow the children to stay enrolled and gave
them free housing in the dormitories.
“Whenever
we called him and he realised who was talking on the phone, he would switch off
his phones and for the next weeks, the numbers would not be available,” they
said.
They
would also try to contact his relatives, who would always claim that he was out
of the country. On one occasion, some of the relatives revealed that they had
given Adepegba money to pay for his children’s tuition fees. However, the money
was never paid to the school.
The
school teachers say the father’s absence has begun to take a toll on the
children’s academic work, and that one of them, had tried to run away on
several occasions.
“Although
I have a faint memory of my father, I will like to see him. If he comes today,
I will ask him why he left us for so long…I don’t care how long he has left us.
I just want to see him. I really need to see him,” said Titilola.
