A live episode of Nhyira FM’s Obra Show ended in chaos after DNA test results confirmed Frank Owusu as the biological father of a teenage girl’s child; a revelation that sparked a heated altercation between two families.
The test, conducted after weeks of public interest and speculation, was the latest step in a case that has gripped listeners since the teenage mother named four different men as potential fathers of her child.
The saga began when Esi Nyamekye accused a young man named Isaac Addae, her daughter’s former classmate, of being responsible for the pregnancy.
Isaac denied paternity, claiming it was a one-time encounter and suspected the girl lied to him for being a virgin. He firmly claimed not to be the father of the child. A DNA test was conducted and officially cleared him.
Following the results, the teenage girl admitted that three other men — Martin, Jeremiah, and Frank Owusu — could also be responsible. All three were invited to the Obra Show, where each denied paternity and gave varying accounts of their engagements with the girl.
In her own words, the teenage girl insisted that Jeremiah was not responsible and cast doubt on Martin’s involvement. Frank, on the other hand, admitted to a timeline that matched the pregnancy but needed confirmation.
Before the DNA results were announced, tensions ran high in the studio. The mother of one of the accused men — who identified herself as a member of a royal family — expressed deep frustration over her son being subjected to a paternity test.
She insisted that the process had brought shame to their family and vowed to sue the teenage girl and her mother if her son was found not to be the father.
“I have prayed over this matter. If my son is innocent, I will not let this go. My family name has been dragged into public disgrace,” she warned emotionally.
Her son was eventually cleared by the DNA results.
However, when Frank Owusu was confirmed as the child’s father, emotions boiled over. The woman, still visibly agitated, confronted Esi Nyamekye, accusing her of tarnishing reputations. The confrontation escalated into a physical altercation that brought the live broadcast to a standstill, despite efforts by producers and guests to intervene.
Obaa Adwoa, host of the Obra Show, condemned the altercation and reminded all parties that the focus of the show was to protect the interests of the innocent child.
“If there is anyone to be held accountable, it should be those who admitted to having sexual relations with an underage girl,” she said firmly.
Panelist, Lady Gold, also questioned the moral responsibility of the man in question. “If your son is royal, what was he doing with a young girl he is not married to?” she quizzed.
Another panelist, Evangelist Degraft Addae, also stated that “all the men involved in this case should be arrested. This girl was underage; the law must take its course.”
With Frank Owusu now confirmed as the father and three others ruled out, the case has shifted from a paternity search to questions of statutory violations and child protection.
The Obra team says it remains committed to supporting the teenage mother and ensuring justice is pursued for the welfare of her child.
