The husband of Mrs Ruth Uche has spoken to a reporter on the
phone assuring her and Nigerians that it was never his will to abandon his wife
especially when his wife had their last set of twins but as a helpless father
and husband who could barely feed his family, he couldn’t take watching the new
babies suffer so he fled the house. His words are quite touching and heart
breaking. He also said though he would love to come back home now, he can’t
because he is scared they might arrest him. But his wife who also spoke to him
on the phone while he answered questions from the reporter assured him that he
will be fine and anyone who wants to arrest him will have to kill her first. Below
is what Mr Uche said to the reporter.

“I love my children,
I miss my wife too, but I am afraid to come back. People won’t
understand how frustrating life has been. I am scared I would be arrested if I
come out. How do I watch my kids suffer? I could not tolerate it. I did not
even have money to assist my family. I watched them suffer daily, without
knowing what to do. There were nights I watched my children sleep without food.
Some days I will buy N100 garri and akara (bean cake) for my family. Because of
my low income, I was always in debt before the end of each month. I am a
factory worker and I earn N33,000 after tax and union fees. Then I have four
children and a wife to take care of, which has been very difficult, I could not stand having a new set of twins
that will come to this world to suffer. Initially, I thought it would be a
child, probably a boy so that I would have two sons and three girls, but when I
learnt it was twins again, the only
thing that came to my mind was to run away. It was not an easy decision and I
have not been happy knowing that I abandoned them. My wife is a very good woman
and I love her. I love my children too. I became frustrated when I called my
brothers for assistance and they did not even answer me. I just dressed up that
morning, I knew I won’t come back but I didn’t tell her so that she would not
feel bad. I am pained that I have not seen my wife and children for three
months, sister you won’t understand my situation, but know that it has not been
easy for me,” he lamented on telephone, as he refused to disclose his
location.”he said
