A video circulating online shows a man claiming to be the biological father of Fulham defender Calvin Bassey, drawing widespread attention.
In the emotional clip, Kingsley Ikenna alleged that his ex-wife has blocked him from seeing his adult sons, including the Super Eagles star, despite his efforts to reconnect.
Ikenna, who now lives in Italy, explained that he and his family had initially moved to England but faced challenges converting their Italian documents to British ones. He said his ex-wife refused to return to Italy, forcing him to leave alone and cutting off contact with their children.
The man is appealing to Nigerians for assistance, insisting that his aim is not to seek fame through Calvin Bassey but to rebuild his relationship with his sons..
"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."
