Man who abandoned family returns years later
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man returned to his family years after abandoning them.
The man had said he left his wife and children because his family did not like the woman.
He confessed that he was in love with his wife, who he said had no fault, but that his family was attacking her and even arranged for him to marry another woman.
He eventually followed another woman but ended up not getting married to her.
