Despite the promise made by Juju Star, Sir Shina Peters to take charge the upkeep of Late Funmi Martins son, Damilare Peters, Nollywood actress, Mide Martins, the elder sister of the 19 years old boy has also signified interest to have him in her care.
Contrary to reports that
she neglected her brother, Mide Martins, lamented
that she had requested custody of Damilare, several times before her grandmother whom Damilare, was living with in
Abeokuta, Ogun State died and her request was denied.
It could be recalled that few days ago, the story of
Damilare was in the news on how he was neglected by his elder sister and also abandoned by his dad, Sir Shina Peters.
The
story went viral and in a bid to redeem their names, Shina Peters and Mide are
out to have the 19 years old boy in their care.
To set the record
straight, the daughter of renowned Nollywood actress, late Funmi Martins took her Instagram
page to state her side of the story and also begged to have her brother in her
care.
Hello Everyone! My name is MIDE
MARTINS. I’ll like to tell little part of my own side of the story.
Firstly, I want to say thank you to
everyone who has contributed greatly to the ongoing issue and also apologize
sincerely to everyone that I might have hurt or disappointed in anyway.
I am deeply sorry from the depth of my
heart. I didn’t want to say anything about this all the
while because I believe it’s a family issue which should rather be settled
amicably between ourselves rather than being dragged on social media.
Anyone who knows me very well would
know that I am a private person I personally do not really like sharing or
celebrating on social media some things relating to my family like the annual
remembrance ceremony of my late mother Funmi Martins which I duly observe every
year in honor of her memory.
When my mum late Funmi Martins, passed away 19yrs ago my whole world was
shattered, devastated, crumbled, broken, lonely without anyone’s support. How I
managed to survive through the storm is only by the special grace of God.
Damilare was living with my grandma back then in Abeokuta
and I was doing all that I could to take care of him until few years ago when
she also passed on and Damilare, was taken away to live with my uncle.
I had requested custody of my brother Damilare, several times even
before grandma died but was denied. Damilare, is
my blood brother It is not possible for me to neglect him but there’s much more
to this story than you all know which I’m sorry I will not go into details
because it’s a family matter.
I am not a heartless person despite the fact that I don’t have it all, the little I have, I give wholeheartedly. However, I just want to ask for a favor!! Can Damilare be finally released to me? Can I have my brother Damilare? I promise to take good care of him in my own little way may God help me so. Thank you everyone!! God bless every family out there!!!
