Ibrahim Yekini, well known as Itele D Icon, a Yoruba-themed Nollywood actor, has expressed regret for leaving his kids.

Recently, it was stated on an online forum that the movie star had mistreated his four kids with their mother, Dupe.

Additionally, the actor was charged with having a liaison with a female colleague.

Itele had previously denied claims that he had abandoned his kids.

However, the actor acknowledged that he has been dealing with an unidentified illness in an Instagram post on Saturday.

According to him, this had an impact on his regular monthly support for the children he shares with his ex-wife.

He also expressed regret for his earlier outburst, explaining that it was the result of frustration.

“The past few days have been a roller coaster of emotions for me. First and foremost, I will like to thank those who reached out concerning this issue, thank you so much. God bless everyone.”

“Recently, I have been in and out of the hospital, but I chose not to post or say anything about it on my page, so, I don’t bother anyone, trusting God for good health. Until few days ago when the issue of my ex-wife and kids made its way to the internet.”

“I felt so bad and typed out of anger, which I regret bitterly. Nobody is perfect and I will want to apologise openly to my fans, family and friends, who felt disappointed in my write-up, I take back those words and I promise going forward, I will do better.”

“I love my kids and I promise to do the needful henceforth, I am apologising to the general public to please forgive my earlier outburst and disregard it, to my fans worldwide, God bless everyone and to those who reached out too, I appreciate it a lot.”
