Francis Van-Lare, the father of Suzette Chibuogu, has refuted the allegation that her ex-husband and a cardiologist, Dr. Ikenna Erinne, who shot himself dead in the United States of America was ordered by the court to pay $15,000 monthly as family upkeep and that he lost his practice licence.
The father-in-law said this in a series of posts on his Facebook page after allusions that Dr. Erinne killed himself over the issues.
Van-Lare said documents from the court, which can be verified, showed that the cardiologist was ordered to pay $1,900 for the upkeep of his children, a boy and a girl.
He wrote: “Liars everywhere.
“He killed himself to avoid paying $1,900.00 monthly which he pays partially sometimes.
“He was not asked to pay $15,000 a month as alleged.
“Dead beat dad!
“Go to the state of Maryland Court circuit and check numerous restraining orders.
“Quiet and peaceful guy my foot.
Any more rubbish talk about my family more revelations.
“I am A bull dozer and will bull doze any lying blogger.

Nobody should blame my daughter for the embarrassment he caused everyone.”
On the report that Dr. Erinne’s practice licence was withdrawn, Van-Lare said: “To set records straight.
“Dr Ikenna Erinne’s licence was never revoked.
“He has active licenses in Illinois, New York, Virginia, and Maryland so one state cannot revoke all licenses at once though none was revoked.
“The child support was set that much because he has a physically challenged son needing special care from different medical facilities plus attending a special needs school that cost money and courts consider income of both parents before making decisions.
“He is not a victim but failed his son and daughter now without their father.
“I just thank God he did not shoot my daughter and grandchildren in his madness.
“Which sane person takes his own life over money he is supposed to use to support his children?
“He was asked to pay child support not alimony or spousal support as my daughter is self sufficient.
“May his soul rest in peace regardless.
“My family will raise the children without him regardless.”
