A Kenyan woman, Hellen Ati, has renewed her call for a DNA test to determine the paternity of her son, alleging that Nigerian businessman and socialite Pascal Okechukwu is the child’s biological father.
Ati claims that she had a relationship with Okechukwu during a visit to Lagos in 2022 and that the relationship resulted in her pregnancy. She says she has spent years seeking a DNA test, maintaining that her request is motivated by her child’s right to know his biological parent.
According to her, the issue has become more urgent following recent health challenges involving the child, prompting her to publicly renew her appeal for scientific verification through DNA testing.
Cubana Chief Priest has consistently denied the allegations, insisting that he does not know Ati and is not the father of her child. He has described the claims as an attempt to extort him and damage his reputation.
The businessman has also stated publicly that he is willing to undergo a DNA test under appropriate legal conditions and has reportedly initiated legal proceedings against Ati in Kenya, alleging defamation.
The dispute has generated widespread discussion across social media, with many commentators urging both parties to resolve the matter through a credible, court-recognized DNA test rather than continued public exchanges.
Legal experts note that DNA testing remains the most reliable scientific method for establishing biological parentage and is commonly relied upon by courts in paternity disputes.
As of now, no court has publicly determined the paternity of the child, and the allegations remain contested by both parties. The legal proceedings are expected to continue until the dispute is resolved through the judicial process or an agreed DNA examination.
The case has reignited conversations about parental responsibility, children’s rights, and the role of scientific evidence in resolving sensitive family disputes.
