A paternity dispute that has gripped listeners of the Obra Show on Nhyira Fm ended in shocking revelations after DNA results confirmed that Stephen Odame, popularly referred to as “King Paluta’s look-alike,” is indeed the biological father of a teenage girl’s child.
The case was brought to light by Akua Serwaa, mother of the teenage mother, who appeared on the Obra Show demanding a paternity test.
She claimed her daughter, Ruth, became pregnant after being in a relationship with the man, who later denied responsibility and went into hiding.
The denial sparked a heated back-and-forth, with the accused man and his family claiming the girl had mentioned several other men as potential fathers.
After the DNA test was conducted, anticipation for the results surged. Across social media and during subsequent Obra broadcast, the question became common: “So when is King Paluta’s DNA result going to be out?” It quickly became a trending topic among listeners, with most phone-ins and online messages centered around that particular case.
When the long-awaited results finally revealed live on the show, the outcome silenced critics. The DNA test confirmed that Stephen Odame is the father of Ruth’s child.
In an emotional reaction, Akua Serwaa, overcome with joy and vindication, broke into spontaneous praise and dance in the studio.
She declared that she would not let the matter rest until she is fully compensated for every cedi spent during her daughter’s pregnancy.
“I want every pesewa back,” she said. “From hospital visits to baby clothes and feeding — everything. He denied us and abandoned us, but today, the truth has spoken,” she said, while her eighteen-year-old daughter wept.
Obra host, Ohemaa Benewa, also responded with strong words, commending Ruth for her strength and resilience throughout the ordeal.
“Ruth, you have not disappointed the sisterhood,” she said. “Stephen Odame will compensate you and your mother. Now that we know the truth, you must return to school. Your mother will help with the child, and the father will take up his responsibility.”
The revelation sparked widespread reactions on radio and online, with many praising the Obra Show for its role in seeking justice and restoring dignity.
Social media exploded with commentary — some mocking the accused with memes comparing him to King Paluta, while others applauded Akua Serwaa for fighting fearlessly to protect her daughter’s future.
Stephen Odame, who had previously evaded responsibility, now faces mounting pressure from the public to own up and support the child, with some listeners praising Nhyira FM and the Obra Show team for their role in uncovering the truth.
“This is why we must support DNA tests. If not for Obra, this girl would have been called names forever while the real father walked free,” a social media comment read.
“Ohemaa Benewa is a national asset! The Obra Show is doing what entire systems have failed to do — giving women justice and restoring dignity,” another comment added, from a U.S.-based listener who also joined the show via phone.
Once again, the Obra Show has proven itself as a trusted and fearless platform that gives voice to the voiceless, uncovers the truth, and demands accountability. What could have ended as another tale of abandonment has instead become a story of truth, justice, and a mother’s unwavering love.
