According to Susan's post, Henry claimed he hailed from Delta State and had a son with a Tiv woman named Doo.
Henry said due to carelessness and youthful negligence, he abandoned Doo and his son from 1989 to 1991.

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh 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 attacked her and even arranged for him to marry another woman.
He eventually followed another woman but ended up not getting married to her.
