Man In Tears As DNA Tests Reveal He’s Not The Father Of Four Children.
Tears welled in the eyes of 44-year-old Mr. Olanrewaju Kolawole as the results of a DNA test unveiled the heartbreaking truth that none of his four children were biologically related to him.
The stark revelation unfolded in a widely circulated video, capturing the poignant moment when Mr. Olanrewaju Kolawole confronted the reality of the DNA test results, unveiling that none of his four children were biologically his own.
Hailing from Ikire in Osun State, the man, Mr. Olanrewaju Kolawole, and his wife, Mrs. Tella Toyin, have four children together: Ayomide (16), Sarah (12), and two other youngsters aged 8 and 5, respectively.
The revelation of paternity fraud unfolded during Mr. Olanrewaju Kolawole and Mrs. Tella Toyin’s appearance on the renowned radio show, ‘Kokoro Alate,’ aired on Agidigbo FM, Ibadan, and hosted by Oriyomi Hamzat.
After the initial DNA test for the first child indicated non-paternity, subsequent tests for the remaining three children also yielded negative results, intensifying the emotional turmoil for the family.
He said, in part, “I want Nigerians to come to my rescue because I must not suffer this in vain. I married Toyin in 2007 and gave birth to four children. She gave birth to four children, but none of them belongs to me after findings from a DNA test.”
Motivated by suspicions arising from his wife’s behavior, Mr. Olanrewaju Kolawole opted for the DNA tests on his children. The examinations were carried out at the DDC DNA Diagnostic Center in Osogbo.
In response, Mrs. Tella Toyin expressed disagreement with the results, stating that she wasn’t present during the sample collection and wasn’t aware of the specific samples taken.
She said, “I don’t accept the result. I don’t accept it because I was not there when they took samples, and I don’t know which sample they took, so I don’t accept it. I can’t accept it because I know how I conceived those children.”
Having tied the knot in 2007, the couple, Mr. Olanrewaju Kolawole and Mrs. Tella Toyin, are members of the same church located in the Ikoyi area of Osun State.
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) have disclosed details of their recent closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu, explaining that the engagement focused on strengthening Nigeria’s democratic process ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The clarification came amid speculation surrounding the meeting, which took place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja after leaders of several opposition parties attended an Iftar dinner hosted by the president earlier in the week.

Speaking during a gathering hosted in Abuja by the SDP’s former presidential candidate, Adewole Adebayo on Friday, the party’s National Chairman, Prof. Sadiq Gombe, said the meeting with Tinubu followed an official invitation from the Presidency and lasted about an hour.
According to Gombe, the discussion centred on the need to strengthen Nigeria’s electoral laws and restore public confidence in the country’s electoral process ahead of the 2027 polls.
He explained that the meeting provided an opportunity for party leaders to remind the president of the importance of conducting transparent, free, and credible elections.
Gombe noted that democracy can only thrive when governments listen to the concerns of citizens and ensure electoral processes that guarantee fairness and accountability.
The SDP chairman also expressed concern over growing voter apathy, pointing to the low turnout recorded in the recent Area Council election in the Federal Capital Territory.
He said the Abuja Municipal Area Council election witnessed only about seven per cent voter turnout, which he described as a clear sign that many Nigerians are losing confidence in the electoral system.
Gombe urged the government and members of the National Assembly to take urgent steps to review electoral laws and rebuild public trust in Nigeria’s democracy.
Also speaking, the National Chairman of IPAC, Dr. Yusuf Dantalle, said political parties used the meeting to raise concerns about aspects of proposed electoral reforms, particularly issues related to indirect primaries and the mandatory electronic transmission of results.
Dantalle explained that the parties appealed to the president to use his influence to encourage legislative review where necessary, noting that reforms should strengthen, rather than complicate, the democratic process.
He expressed optimism that Tinubu would consider the concerns raised and support necessary amendments that would improve the electoral system.
The IPAC chairman also called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to strictly adhere to electoral guidelines as preparations for the next election cycle begin.
Earlier in his remarks, Adebayo cautioned political actors against turning the 2027 general elections into a do-or-die contest, stressing that the primary goal of democracy should be the progress and stability of Nigeria rather than personal political victories.
He urged leaders across political parties to encourage citizens to actively participate in the democratic process and ensure that elections are conducted peacefully and transparently.
