Calvin Bassey’s father, Kingsley Ughelumba, has again cried out for help, seeking to reunite with his four children, including the Super Eagles defender, whom he says he has been separated from for over 18 years, PUNCH Sports Extra reports. Two years ago, Bassey’s father had publicly spoken about being cut off from his children’s lives. He has now returned with another emotional plea, saying he is “dying in silence” and still hoping for reconciliation. I went to work and before I returned, she had left with the children,” Ughelumba said in a viral social media interview. He made 65 appearances over two seasons for the Scottish giants, winning the Scottish Premiership and the Scottish Cup.
