A 40-year-old Nigerian man is currently fighting for his life in a hospital after receiving devastating news that none of the three children he had raised and cherished for years are biologically his.
The heartbreaking revelation came to light following a DNA test that confirmed his worst fears, plunging him into severe emotional and psychological distress.
The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, had spent years working abroad to provide for his family. During this time, he wholeheartedly believed he was the father of three children, dedicating his life to their welfare and upbringing. However, his world was turned upside down when a DNA test revealed that he had no biological connection to any of the children he had raised.
According to Chioma Onwuesi, a close friend of the man, the shocking discovery was too overwhelming for him to bear, and he was immediately rushed to the hospital after the results were disclosed.
“A friend of mine is battling for his life at the hospital after finding out that all his three kids are not his after so many years abroad,” Onwuesi shared in a viral Facebook post. She also used the platform to advocate for mandatory DNA testing to prevent such traumatic experiences.
The incident has sparked a heated conversation about paternity fraud, trust in relationships, and the necessity of DNA testing. Onwuesi’s Facebook post quickly gained traction, with numerous netizens expressing their sympathy for the man while debating whether DNA tests should be compulsory in hospitals.
Supporters of the campaign argue that mandatory DNA testing could serve as a safeguard against paternity fraud, which often causes deep emotional and psychological harm.
“DNA should be compulsory in every hospital,” Onwuesi emphasized in her post, adding that routine testing could protect men from unknowingly raising children who are not biologically theirs.
This tragic story has not only highlighted the devastating impact of paternity fraud but also ignited calls for systemic measures to ensure transparency and trust in parental relationships.
