Photo: At Last The Father of The Abandoned School Children Reunite With Them

Remember a man Mr Segun Adepegba who abandoned his children in a boarding school for lack of money has finally reunite with them. The man promised his kids that he would never for once leave them again. Mr Adepegba who was accompanied by four of his friends would have been beating and probably killed by angry mob, but thanks to the friends who said he was a changed person.

Read the very touching apology he tendered to his children: 

“I am sorry for leaving you, Titi, Seun and Seyi. I am really very sorry. I have missed you all so much. I will not leave you again.”

According to Punch, Prostrating himself intermittently before a crowd in the expansive hall of the school.He said, 

“I have offended a lot of people. I have offended my children. I have offended Nigerians. I accept all the blame. And I am really very sorry. I understand that what I have done is very wrong. I was afraid of two things: One was that if I came here, I would be arrested and the second reason was the accumulated debt of the children’s school fees. I reasoned that if I should come to the school, I would be handed over to the police.“I really miss my children and this time around, I am going to change. I want them to have a good educational background so that they can become important persons in the future. I don’t want them to suffer. I will never leave them again. But all these years, I have been battling with hard times. Things have been very tough for me.

 Many were greatly moved as father and children bonded in what they described as “a mystery and a miracle.”A friend of the school proprietor, Mr. Ademola Adeyemi , described Adepegba’s return as a miracle, saying he had held vigils to ensure that he returned. “This has shown that God truly answers prayers, “he said.

Titilola said, 

“I am very excited that my father is back. All I can say is that I am happy. But I want to see my mother too.”

 Adepegba told Punch correspondent that he would look for their mother. He said her name is Ruth Okochi from Ogwashi-Uku in the Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State.

“I know a place she lives in Abuja but I am not sure if she still lives there. I owe it a responsibility to find her for the sake of my children,” he said.
