Father of Daniel, Osaigbovo, on Tuesday made a surprise appearance at the Edo State Government House shortly after his son and wife were taken inside and he was not invited to join in the meeting.
Osaigbovo who was accompanied by some of his relatives, denied allegations that they turned up because of the scholarship offer, saying he was a commercial bus driver and that his wife just informed about the scholarship offer.
He said he has been taking care of his children contrary to the uncaring attitude by his wife.
He said, “We quarreled last year. I did not leave my home. I invited my wife to join me but she said where I was staying was too far and she decided to stay apart. It is false and a lie that I have not been taking care of my four children.”
On why he has been quiet about his son’s predicament, Osaigbovo said his wife asked him to calm down that she would take care of everything.
“I went with her to the police station but she said I should keep quiet.
“I was shocked when I hear the news. Initially, I thought my son was kidnapped but I thank God he is alive. I am here to make sure my son is really alive,” he said.
