In a Facebook post on Thursday, April 9, Celia said she and her sisters have never done anything wrong to their father, adding that there are two sides to a story. 

 

She claimed that her dad put the post out to gain public sympathy and make his daughters look bad. 

 

According to Celia, there are family matters the public may not understand and she believes her father shouldn’t have brought the issue to the internet. 

 

She added that the best way forward is to settle the issue amicably within the family. 

 

“I’m one of the three girls my father mentioned in his post. There are things happen within a family that people do not understand,?” she wrote.

 

“Firstly, I’m Christian, and I know my sisters, and I have never done anything wrong to our father for him to come on the internet and make us look bad. 

 

“A good and caring father will never come on the internet to bring his household problems to the world. 

 

“We don’t owe anybody an explanation, but people who know the full story will understand what I’m talking about. 

 

“There are always two sides to a story, so you guys can say what pleases your. I will not join you on this blue app to do what you are doing.

 

“You spoke about abandonment; we never abandoned you, but you are only doing this to buy public sentiment. 

 

“I don’t think this is the best way to go about things, so I’m not delving into this with you. Settling things amicably was the only way forward.”
