A video currently circulating online has garnered significant attention, featuring a man who identifies himself as the biological father of Fulham and Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey. The man, identified as Kingsley Ikenna, shared an emotional account of his estrangement from his children and his desire for a reunion.
The Background of the Estrangement
Speaking from Italy, Ikenna explained that the family’s separation began following a move from Italy to England. According to his account:
- Immigration Challenges: The family faced difficulties converting their Italian residency papers to British ones upon arriving in England.
- The Split: Ikenna claimed that while he intended to return to Italy to resolve the situation, his ex-wife refused to go back with him.
- Loss of Contact: He was eventually forced to return to Italy alone, a move that led to him losing contact with his sons.
An Appeal for Reconnection
In the video, Ikenna alleges that his ex-wife has consistently denied him access to his adult sons, including the professional footballer. He expressed a deep emotional desire to reestablish a relationship that has been dormant for years.
Addressing the public, Ikenna emphasized that his motives are not driven by Calvin Bassey’s professional success or global fame. Instead, he stated his goal is strictly to reconnect with his children as their father.
Call for Help
Kingsley Ikenna is now appealing to the Nigerian public and social media users to assist him in reaching his sons. He insists that his efforts are focused on healing family ties rather than seeking financial gain or public attention.
Key Details:
- Claimant: Kingsley Ikenna (Based in Italy)
- Relationship: Alleged biological father of Calvin Bassey
- The Dispute: Accusations that his ex-wife blocked access to their children following an immigration-related separation.
"Please Nigerians should help me. Wherever I must have wronged my wife, she should please forgive me so I can have access to my children. My wife took my children and ran away with them."
