Nigerian man, 28, begins search for dad
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man named Uche had begun a search for his dad.
Uche's search for his dad has seen him launch an appeal on Twitter and other social media platforms with no success so far.
The graduate of business administration from Auchi Polytechnic, Benin lost his mother named Tina Uwaifo to cancer in 2017 and shared with Legit.ng what she told him while she was alive.
Uche who is an only child stated that his mum lived and worked in Benin as a trader until her passing. When asked why he is relaunching the search for his dad years later, the self-employed man replied:
"It's been a year I decided to start searching for him only because I have a son now and I just want to try and find him because I don’t want to deny my kid the opportunity of knowing his true origin."
