A paternity dispute has come under public scrutiny on Obra Show on Nhyira FM, where a young man is seeking a DNA test to resolve lingering doubts over the true identity of a child he has long been associated with.
Isaac Amankwaa told host Ohemaa Benewaa that his relationship began on a troubling note. According to him, he learnt earlier on that his girlfriend had previously been involved with a close friend, prompting him to end the relationship.
However, she later informed him she was pregnant, leading them to reconcile and live together for about two years.
Despite their efforts, Isaac said the relationship was plagued by constant conflict. “Anytime we had a misunderstanding, she would tell me the child was not mine,” he recounted, describing the emotional toll it took on him.
The situation eventually led to their separation. Isaac further alleged that the woman’s family demanded compensation before allowing her to leave, although she personally rejected the idea, insisting he was not the father.
He also claimed she insulted his mother during the dispute, deepening the rift between both sides.
Now seeking clarity and closure, Isaac is calling for a DNA test to determine the true paternity of the child.
Responding to the allegations, the accused, Perpetual Sefa, presented a different account. She revealed that she suffered a health scare when Isaac informed her family that he could no longer marry her.
According to her, she had made significant sacrifices for him, including using money meant for her education to support him while he was in training college. She added that she eventually had to put her own schooling on hold due to the pregnancy.
“I told him the child was not his out of anger,” she admitted. However, she maintained that Isaac should compensate her for “wasting her time” and take responsibility for the child. Otherwise, she insisted, he should not claim to be the father.
The panel offered varied perspectives on the matter. Evangelist Degraft Addae emphasized the need for truth, stating, “This issue cannot be settled by emotions—only a DNA test can bring finality.”
Lady Gold White questioned the inconsistency in the woman’s claims, noting, “You cannot deny a man in anger and later expect him to take full responsibility. The child’s identity must not be treated as a weapon.”
Adding her voice, Gifty Donkor, popularly known as Big Mama, stressed accountability on both sides. “If you supported him, it does not change the truth about the child. Let the test be done so everyone will know where they stand,” she said.
Bringing the discussion to a close, Ohemaa Benewaa underscored the importance of resolving the matter with facts rather than emotions. “This is not just about the two of you—it is about the future of the child. Let the truth come out, and let peace follow,” she advised.
Samples for the DNA test have since been taken, and the final results are expected to determine the true paternity of the child.
