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 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.
“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.
Kanimodo said the order was imperative
for the court to get the full details of the
case, and adjourned the case till April 27.
