A heated and controversial paternity dispute has erupted on Nhyira FM’s Obra Show, leaving listeners divided and a child at the center of a troubling family conflict.
The complainant, Emelia Nimo, stunned audiences when she revealed that after 10 years of marriage without a child, medical reports confirmed that her husband was unable to impregnate a woman. Determined to have a child, she admitted to stepping outside the marriage.
“I lived with my husband for ten years, and we tried everything to have a child, but nothing worked,” Emelia said. “The doctors told us he couldn’t make a woman pregnant, so I had no choice.”
She explained that she became pregnant by another man and only informed her husband a year after giving birth.
“When I told him, he begged me to keep it a secret because he knew his condition,” she added. “I agreed at first, but my conscience couldn’t allow me to continue hiding the truth.”
According to Emelia, she later informed the biological father, who accepted responsibility and began caring for the child. However, the situation escalated after she divorced her husband.
“My ex-husband is now threatening the real father, telling him to stay away from the child,” she claimed. “Meanwhile, he is also not taking care of the child.”
In a twist that has shocked many, the accused husband reportedly insists the child belongs to him and has refused to take a DNA test.
“He says the child is his, and he will never agree for another man to take over his child,” Emelia told the show.
Host Ohemaa Benewaa expressed disbelief at the unfolding drama.
“This is shocking,” she said during the program. “How can you refuse a DNA test when the truth is being questioned so strongly?”
She concluded by proposing an alternative solution:
“Since the man has refused to come forward for the DNA test, the alleged biological father should also be invited to take the test. If it proves he is truly the father, then at least the child will know his real identity.”
The panelists did not hold back in their reactions.
Evangelist Degraft Addae reacted with visible anger, strongly criticizing Emelia’s actions. He questioned her decision to step outside the marriage, describing it as morally unacceptable despite the circumstances. He argued that her choice had created confusion and suffering for the innocent child, adding that “two wrongs can never make a right,” and insisted she should have pursued other options instead of infidelity.
On the other hand, fellow panelist Lady Gold White took a more sympathetic stance, applauding Emelia for eventually telling the truth. She noted that while the situation was complicated, it took courage and conscience for the woman to come forward and admit what had happened.
Big Mama, another panel member, directed her criticism at the husband, expressing disbelief at his position.
“Why would you claim someone else’s child when you know very well you are not the biological father?” she questioned, laughing in astonishment. “This case is funny, but it is also very serious.”
The ongoing dispute has now left the child in a difficult situation, with neither man currently providing consistent care due to threats and denial.
The case continues to generate intense public debate, with many calling for a definitive DNA test to resolve the matter and protect the future of the child.
