The man currently battling depression says he feels like he has let down his children for failing to fend for them.
Sleeping on the floor
"We sleep on the floor and sometimes we can go for days without food. Whenever I come home empty-handed I feel so bad I cannot even face them. I especially pity the youngest. Some of my friends just buy me alcohol whenever I go begging. They tell me it's to help me drown my thoughts," Hemed said.
The man whose kids struggle to go to school says he wants to relocate to the village and start afresh.
"At least there's a piece of land in the village where my late mom lived. I will stay there as I pick up my pieces," he told TUKO.co.ke's Yvonne Kawira in an interview.
Late man's uncle chased family out
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian lady identified as Awola Beatrice cried out in a viral video after their uncle threw them out of their father’s house following the man’s death.
In the clip, the lady with tears in her eyes stated that since her father died on Wednesday, September 9, 2020, the uncle has been mounting big pressure on them, seeking to take over the properties.
The lady, while filming, showed their properties the man threw out. Beatrice, therefore, asked social media users to come to her family’s rescue.
