The actor also clarified that he is a God-fearing man who has never neglected any of his responsibilities.
Reacting to this, netizens dragged Itele for spitting lies online about catering for his children’s needs. The actor was bashed for not opting for DNA when he had doubts about the children’s paternity instead of abandoning them.
