Man Discovers After 10 Years That He Did Not Father Any Of His Kids

A 40-year-old businessman on Friday in Lagos sought the dissolution of his 10-year-old marriage, over paternity of the three children they supposedly had from the union.

Ambali Muraina told an Ikorodu Customary Court that he had confirmed that he was not the father of the children.

The plaintiff said that a DNA test confirmed that the children were not his.

He submitted that he went for the test after repeated comments by his wife, Mariam, that he was not the father of the children.



The plaintiff told the court that Mariam gave birth to all the three children while living with him.

He said: "She was always saying jokingly that I am not the father of the three children, anytime we had a misunderstanding.

"Please separate us, I don't want to waste my money on another man's children and I don't want to live with them again."

Thirty-year-old Mariam did not deny the allegation.
