He wrote: “First slide was me and my ex wife, Judy Austin. Many have said I’m a bad husband. Take a close look at this picture—do you see the happiness on Judy Austin’s face?
“If I was truly a bad husband, as some claimed, would we both appear this happy? We regularly visited her family in Umuoji and whenever I arrived, they knew an in-law had come. We brought gifts, provided support and also gave them money. I decided to clarify the public
“Second slide was one of my numerous visits to see my children in Umuoji, after the separation with Judy Austin. Even after she left our marriage, because my children were still young, I agreed to let them stay with their mother as Judy and her family requested.
“I have always sent them money, visited my children with plenty of food and supplies and tried my best to be a loving, caring father.
“Then, one fateful day, while visiting my children as usual in Umuoji, I received the shock of my life: Judy Austin had taken my children away without informing me. Look at my children, do they look malnourished? Do they look as if they don’t love me?’’
