Father of Wife Whose Husband Doctor in US Died Shares What He Knows About the SituationSource: Getty ImagesConflicting reports emergeVan-Lare’s statementWhile there was a custody battle my daughter is involved in and I only became aware last Monday morning about 3 am Nigerian time that the deceased held her and her children at gun point for three hours after losing a custody battle, the nanny managed to escape and called the police and on arrival of the police he shot himself dead. I guess he decided to kill himself instead of facing three counts of kidnapping with a deadly weapon 25 years to life each.While I sympathize with his family for his death, my daughter is not responsible for him taking his own life and I thank God it did not degenerate to where he shoots my daughter, grandchildren and himself. May his soul rest in peace. Everyone is a loser here and it is traumatizing for all including me. No winners here.US-based Nigerian Doctor Dies After Child Support Saga
