The Septuagenarian also claimed he did not divorce Evan’s mother as they took an oath on their wedding day.

The oath is that we will be together for better or worse, till death do
us part.

“Death is the only thing that can separate us. I did not also disown Evans as is being circulated.
“He remains my son. If he is given a second chance and he
returns home, I will welcome and accept him. It was sad I didn’t know
what he was into; if not, I would have been the one to stop him, by
bringing my friends in the force to arrest and torture him to stop,” he said.

recognise him.
“It’s been a very long time I saw him last. He doesn’t come home or visit his maternal home.
“So, what can I say about him? You know children have a way

mercy on him and forgive him.

“I have not spoken with Chidumeme’s mother for a very long time
and I don’t know where she is and what is happening around her. She
should be up there in her husband’s house, but now I’m hearing she is
not there. I don’t understand what is happening. It’s unfortunate and
sad. She is just who she is. I have been sick and bed-ridden for a long
time. I don’t go out at all hence; I don’t know what is happening around
here.”
