NIGERIA: A housewife, Mrs.
Seinab Adebayo, on Thursday told an Ijebu-Ode Customary Court Grade ‘A’ that
her husband, Adewale, was not the biological father of their three children.
Adebayo who is pregnant
with the fourth child, also told the court that her husband was also not
responsible for the pregnancy, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Adewale, who is the
plaintiff, had early this month dragged his wife to court for packing out of
the house with the three children without his consent.
He urged the court to order
his wife to return his three children back to him.
But the wife said she
packed out of the house because her husband, whom she said she got married to
her 12 years ago, was not the biological father of the children and was not
responsible for the pregnancy.
Adebayo told the court that
she was made to swore an oath to keep the secret that her husband was not the
biological father of the children, adding that it was a deal between the two of
them.
She said her husband had
been married for 10 years without an issue before she got married to him.
“When I got married to my husband 12 years ago, we both swore an oath not to
reveal the secret that my husband is not the biological father of the children.
“And for the past 12 years,
we have been keeping that secret by not allowing anybody to know that my
husband is not the biological father of the three children and the pregnancy
that I am carrying,” she said.
Adebayo, however, told the court that she could not reveal the details of the
secret until the husband brought the oracle with which they swore the oath to
court to release her from it.
“I cannot give the details
of the secret of who the real father of the children is until I am released
from the oath.
“I will urge the court to
order my husband to bring the oracle with which we swore the oath to court and
release me from it before I can reveal the secret,” she said.
The husband, who did not
deny the allegation, insisted that he was the biological father of the
children.
In his ruling, the court’s President, Mr. Olatunji Kanimodo, ordered the
husband to bring the oracle with which they swore to an oath to the court in
the next adjourned date.
Kanimodo said the order was
imperative for the court to get the full details of the case, and adjourned the
case till April 27.
