A Nigerian 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.
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.

Nothing is impossible in Nigeria. Yesterday was for a lawyer that has flair for nuduty, today, an order to bring an oracle to the court. I really wonder what tomorrow would bring.
ReplyDeleteNigeria we hail thee.
Why exposing the secret now to the public when both of you have sworn to keep it to your self. His your husband the only impotent man in the world? what if the claim father of the children deny you and your children what will you do. This is not a story for one to hear about. She should go back and resolve the issue with your said husband. Tomorrow will tell on the children.

ReplyDeleteMy people and Atipa.Well, Cases like this abound in yorubaland.The only thing is that this has gone awry.I know that our people are too sexy and can even carry others baby without the husband knowing this.The solution is for people to turn to God.
ReplyDeleteThey should tell the woman to shut up her mouth, didn't she knows the consequences before taking an oath why now, pls you don't have any excuse and how many women out there who had children without their biological father, she wanted to cover the man secret of impotency and why did she decided to come publicly to expose him now, i am very very sure if the husband is a rich man she will keep the secret to the end, i hope she knows that this will definitely tell on the children tomorrow? nonsense woman.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't the court do the legal thing of ordering a DNA test. Why did the court give in to using juju in court. How can a legal system depend on a so-called oracle? This beats my imagination. By customary laws of our country, the children born in a wedlock belongs to the man who paid her dowry even if he's not the biological father. Or am I so terribly wrong?
ReplyDeleteWorst woman ever to keep at home as a wife. Shame.
ReplyDeleteThat woman is a harlot, she has a memory problem, families and background disorderness. She has no goog adviser and no how she could read people comments. She should return the 3 children and the one's in her wormb to the man she married to, after she can pack to join her secret husband to give bith to his own baby. What she did can not be tried in IGBO land. To bring oracle to court is rubbish but for free separation not for the children.
ReplyDeleteIt was said of old that its only d woman that knows d true father of any child.But as long as a woman is in her matrimonial home, any child she had belongs 2 her substansive husband. Any other man besides, should go & wait 4 his own.
ReplyDeleteMama's baby, papa's maybe, that's how it goes with women and children:) The man is always the last to know.
ReplyDeleteThis is a shame on some women who cannot keep their trust with their husband. Mrs Adebayo may have other secrets against her substantive husband. I hope the court can put her to face her shame by giving the children to Mr Adewale, the legal husband. Mrs Adebayo does not deserve the sanctity of marriage.
ReplyDeleteLack of Exposure,She must properly be a Local Woman.What if the Husband is not the Father of Your Child,wht is the big deal.Many woman in the develope world adopt a child and it becomes their own.I even go for IVF,with another Mans SPERM.I dont think Court shld be judging this cos is not an Issue as far as two of them accepted and sworn to have babies in Which one they use.The children bears the Mans name and was raised by him,so is His.
ReplyDeleteStupid idiot woman and a shame to motherhood
