SP Bright Edafe, the spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, has ignited discussion by raising the importance of conducting DNA tests after childbirth.
In a post shared on his X handle, Edafe mentioned that there is currently a case of paternity fraud in the Uvwie local government area in the state.
He said a man in his fifties recently found out that his wife was cheating on him with several men, He said the man decided to carry out a DNA test to determine the paternity of his three children.
Sadly, it turned out that all three children aren’t his.
He said the matter was reported to the police but that the police couldn’t intervene as it was not within its jurisdiction to do so.
His post reads: ‘’Should DNA test be made compulsory at child birth?
“There is a serious issue in Uvwie LGA Delta State, where a man (name withheld) asked to use his wife’s phone, while he was at it, a message poped up from a mystery man saying “how are my two kids” the man out of shock decided to check further, he discovered that his wife had more than twenty male sexual partners.
“To cut the long story short, the man who is now 50+ years old carried out a DNA test for their three children, hmmm, guess what?
“Non of the three children belongs to him. I ask again. They attempted to make it a police case, unfortunately, its not a police case.”
