“For the records, I never for once restricted access to this man. I’ve never restricted access for him to see his kids. My children spent 5 years with my parents before I moved them to Enugu in 2018. The man will visit them once every year to come and showcase his child with his new wife, to show my parents that he’s living the life and I’m suffering.
The pictures he’s posting on net with my kids being very little are the ones he was able to take whenever he goes to see them. So at what point did I restrict access from this man?.”
